Hi! My name is Elisabeth Faust, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the behavioral health field for thirty (30) plus years. We will travel the road of wellness together at your speed and comfort. I look forward to getting to know you and you, me.

I came to train and serve as a counselor after being helped by counseling in my 40s. Sometimes reaching out for help and making changes in life is scary and overwhelming. Sometimes we need support as we navigate these changes. I love to support my clients as they make life-giving changes.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 21 years of experience supporting mental health and wellness across the lifespan. My professional journey has been rooted in behavioral health settings, where I’ve had the privilege of working closely with both children and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, sleep-related concerns, and substance-use disorders.

I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Mississippi Medical Center and also hold a Master’s degree in Nursing Education from William Carey University. My background allows me to combine clinical expertise with education and advocacy, ensuring that clients feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout their care.

Sometimes life doesn’t feel like something you’re managing—it feels like something you’re reacting to.

Emotions can feel intense or unpredictable. Stress builds quickly. Relationships become harder to navigate. You may find yourself shutting down, lashing out, overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed by things that don’t seem to affect others in the same way.

I’m Kristopher, a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship challenges, family conflict, and emotional regulation difficulties. My work focuses on helping people understand what’s happening beneath their reactions so they can begin to feel more in control of themselves and their relationships.

Many of the people I work with are not “broken”—they’re overwhelmed, under-supported, or carrying emotional patterns that were never given space to be understood or healed.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience as a therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals and groups navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My practice focuses on supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and the effects of trauma.

With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.

I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

When a child has been through more than they should, or when a family is navigating trauma, foster care, or adoption, the right support changes everything. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families

dealing with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of whatever life has handed them, including the complex emotions that come with foster care and adoption experiences. With more than a decade in mental health, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide and support

as you build on your strengths and work toward the future you envision.

I graduated with a BS degree in Psychology at Louisiana State University. I have a Master's Degree from Southern University in Mental Health Counseling. I have over 27 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults
