Kristina Joseph

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Kennesaw, GA


I’ve spent over 10 years in the mental health field, but my path to becoming a therapist was anything but typical. I began my career in law enforcement, and it didn’t take long to realize that many of the people I encountered didn’t need punishment—they needed help, healing, and hope. That realization pushed me to take a different path, one rooted in compassion and true connection.

My early work was with unhoused individuals and those living with severe mental illness, helping them rebuild their lives through employment and support. I then transitioned to working in a psychiatric hospital, where I deepened my understanding of mental health and the complex layers of trauma.

Eventually, I joined the Georgia Public Defender’s Office, where I had the powerful experience of researching and writing the life stories of individuals facing the death penalty. That work shaped the core of who I am as a therapist. It helped me develop a deeper level of empathy and the ability to truly see people as they are—not just through the lens of what’s happened to them, but through the full scope of their lives and humanity.

Therapist

I help women tap into their strengths, trust themselves, and build a life that feels authentic and aligned with their values. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of your next step, you're not alone. Life can be a lot -especially when you're juggling expectations, big emotions, and that little voice in your head that says you should have it all figured out. But here's the truth: You don’t have to do this alone.
