Krystin Salmonsen

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I have practiced in several settings including school, residential treatment and outpatient mental health. I have supervised and trained students and professionals of varying mental health disciplines, and I have served as an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Department at Upstate Medical University. I provide mental health assessment, diagnosis and psychotherapy to adolescents, young adults and their families. I specialize in supporting clients struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and more. I also provide psychotherapy to individuals who are experiencing stress due to life adjustments (school or work transitions, grief & loss, etc).

It is a great privilege to walk side by side with clients through stressful periods in time. I have seen countless individuals and families heal and grow through life's challenges. My style is warm, welcoming and nurturing. I use evidence based approaches to provide care that best fits clients' needs.

In our first session, I will gather information to help us develop a treatment plan and identify the direction of our work together. As we move forward with sessions, we will collaborate each step of the way to progress toward your goals. My approach balances validation and change, as it is important that you are heard and understood while also making progress toward your goals. I believe in a collaborative process between therapist and client and I welcome the opportunity to support you in your therapeutic journey.
