Kris Gebhard

Kris Gebhard, a compassionate psychologist with a PhD, specializes in creating a healing garden for clients looking to transform into their truest selves. As a genderqueer, transmasculine, and queer professional, Kris excels in working with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum, including transgender, genderqueer, non-binary, intersex, LGB, and pansexual-identified individuals. Their affirmative approach extends to diverse relationship structures, including polyamory and ethical non-monogamy, and advocates for a kink/BDSM-affirming, sex and body-positive environment. Kris's extensive experience encompasses sessions with artists, activists, professionals, students, and disabled individuals and couples. They are trained in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, providing gender-affirming care and supporting others through challenges such as traumatic stress, PTSD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, gender dysphoria, depression, and anxiety. Guided by curiosity and nonjudgmental compassion, Kris employs an ecology and somatic-informed relational and feminist perspective in their practice. Integrating skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as needed, they invite clients into a collaborative space where exploration, questioning, and healing flourish. Journeying alongside clients through transformative life changes, Kris is dedicated to fostering a safe environment for healing from trauma, navigating complex work scenarios, or processing grief.
