Kristin Obrien, LCSW, is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist who believes that every individual deserves to lead a happy, healthy, and purposeful life. She understands that challenges can often hinder this journey, noting that happiness is rarely a straight path; it involves twists, turns, and occasional barriers. Kristin views her purpose as walking alongside her clients on their journeys of self-discovery and empowering them with the skills necessary for lifelong change. She creates a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for clients to explore their inner selves, understanding that healing is akin to peeling an onion, revealing its many complex layers. With several years of experience working successfully with children, teens, adults, and families, Kristin employs a client-centered approach to therapy, recognizing that one size does not fit all. She utilizes a variety of modalities tailored to the highest good of her clients, drawing from both traditional evidence-based therapies such as DBT, CBT, play therapy, and solution-focused therapy, as well as alternative practices like Reiki, mindfulness, essential oils, meditation, and yoga. Kristin firmly believes that meaningful change arises from the connection of body, mind, and spirit, fostered through the trust and strength of the therapeutic relationship.
