Krysten Richardson, LCMHCA

Hi, I’m Krysten!

I’m so glad you’re here! Growing up can be hard. The world can feel big, and sometimes our emotions can feel even bigger. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, validated, and gently challenged to grow as you navigate the world around you. I believe therapy is a partnership, and that authentic, genuine connection is at the heart of growth and healing. I strive not only to work with you, but to truly get to know you and provide a space where you can be your authentic self and find support free from judgment.

I work primarily with children, teens, and young adults experiencing a wide variety of challenges. Common concerns include anxiety, self-esteem and self-discovery, life transitions, relationship challenges, and navigating big emotions. Growing up comes with a lot of change, and it can be hard to figure out who you are, where you fit in the world, and how to navigate everything that comes with it. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I approach therapy through a person-centered and trauma-informed lens, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Play Therapy, and creative and expressive arts, tailoring my approach to each individual. I believe therapy doesn’t always have to happen through conversation alone, and I strive to offer different ways to understand yourself, express emotions, build skills, and process experiences.

Outside of the office, I love getting lost in a good book, staying active, spending time outdoors, and enjoying time with my loved ones.
