Kristy McLaughlin is a compassionate licensed professional counselor who understands that our experiences shape how we respond to and perceive the world around us. She is dedicated to helping individuals gain new perspectives, alter unhelpful thought patterns, and manage negative emotions and life stressors.

Her passion lies in walking alongside clients as they navigate their personal valleys, guiding them through their healing journeys with empathy and understanding.
