Great to meet you!

My name is Kristina Zetlmeisl. l received my Masters in Social Work at the University of Houston. My 10 years of experience has been working primarily in substance abuse treatment. During this time I had the privilege of walking along side those recovering from substance abuse disorders, witnessing the resilience it takes to heal and build a meaningful life.

Over the years I realized I wasn't just helping people heal from addiction, I was helping them heal from the experiences that made recovery so difficult in the first place. Whether, you are navigating trauma, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, working to break generational trauma, struggling with parenting or navigating sobriety I am here to help you build new patterns that align with the person you want to be.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, trauma informed, and grounded in the belief that lasting change happens when we feel supported and encouraged. My goal is to create a safe space where you can be honest with yourself to explore your patterns, process feelings, and learn new skills to thrive. Sessions are collaborative and paced to meet you where you are, I will take your lead.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and begin building a relationship. We will discuss what brought you to therapy and the challenges you are currently facing. From there we will identify patterns, set goals and develop a plan that feels deeply meaningful to your situation. My priority is for you to leave feeling seen, heard, and hopeful about the future.
