My name is Kristy Williamson-Leo. I am trained as an LMHC. I have adopted an eclectic, integrative treatment style. I am an EMDR trained psychotherapist. I love learning and applying various theories to better help clients conceptualize and treat their presenting treatment concerns.
I seek to learn salient information on the origins of treatment concerns. I am warm and enjoy practicing unconditional positive regard. I enjoy case conceptualization, especially through a Schema Therapy and polyvagal lens, as well as through an attachment lens.
Psychoeducation to better understand what they are dealing with. As well as bibliotherapy links and increased insight and understanding. Techniques like diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness. There is an emphasis on somatic techniques to regulate the autonomic nervous system, as well as CBT restructuring, targeting improvement of self narrative.
