Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Tallahassee, FL

I believe everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to. As a therapist I enjoy creating an environment that makes people feel comfortable sharing their challenges. Through motivational interviewing I help clients discover solutions to their problems and help improve overall functioning while living with day-to-day stress. My experience helping clients with a myriad of diagnoses has prepared me to serve a wide range of individuals with a focus on unconditional positive regard and a collaborative therapeutic environment.

Hi. I'm Kristi. I'm so glad you are here. I invite clients to come with all of their parts. My training is in Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Together we can get to know your system and what healing it is ready for. The process is slow, but massive. Take a deep breathe and enjoy the journey. It is beautiful.

I believe that counseling can excel healing and instill hope in your life. I see individuals that are longing for a better quality of life but unsure of how to get there. My goal is to hold the hope while you do the brave work of coping and healing.

My passion is helping individuals develop practical tools to manage stress, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified First Responder Counselor with more than 10 years of experience providing individual and group therapy to diverse client populations. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, disordered eating, life transitions, and the challenges of balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Over the past five years, I have specialized in supporting first responders and others working in high-demand, high-stress environments.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult challenges. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I bring a deep understanding of the unique stressors faced by service members, veterans, and their families. My work is centered on helping clients navigate PTSD, trauma, and the emotional impact of major life events with compassion, skill, and respect.

I specialize in trauma-informed care, substance abuse counseling, and client-centered therapy tailored to each individual’s needs. My professional background includes extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life transitions. As a bilingual clinician, I am committed to providing accessible, culturally responsive care to both English- and Spanish-speaking clients.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, empathetic, and empowering. I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused interventions to help clients build resilience and achieve meaningful, lasting change.

My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. Whether you are processing trauma, navigating recovery, or seeking greater balance and clarity, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will work toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
