Hi! I'm Kristan Seaford, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor for over 20 years. I got my BA in English and Psychology from Duke University and a MA in Counseling from Wake Forest University.
However, it is my "on the job" training that has proven to be invaluable. I began my career working as a college counselor; then I became a play therapist in a private practice. Finally, in 2016, I realized one of my life's biggest dreams. I opened my own practice!

With many providers practicing in Matthews and nearby communities like Mint Hill, Indian Trail, and Stallings, narrowing your options can take time.
