Kristen Herriman
Licensed Professional Counselor
Helping you find more peace, joy and happiness in your daily life is important to me.
Hello! My name is Kristen Herriman and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I believe it to be a sincere privilege to assist people in their journey and would love to help you navigate yours! I feel a positive and sincere therapeutic relationship without judgement is the basis for all therapy and counseling. Once that is established we will set goals together and we might engage in multiple techniques to help you reach them.
I specialize in working with people ages 21 and up. Being somewhat “seasoned,” I have experienced many life changes and transitions. Changes and transitions such as changing from school to work or changing careers, singlehood to committed relationships (or the reverse), diagnosis of illness that affect daily life, and more. These changes can be difficult to navigate without proper support.
I’ve walked alongside many people through grief and loss. Loss of relationship, loss of job, loss of health, empty nesting, death of a loved one, etc. I believe grief is one of the most difficult things we experience as humans and the right support can make all the difference.
I am a strong ally of those identifying as LGBTQIA+. I have had the privilege of walking alongside many as they have found their way to a sexual identity that fits them and feels right.
I provide telehealth therapy and I have extensive training in providing therapy in this format. Telehealth provides all the confidentiality of in person and you can attend from your favorite chair in your favorite clothes! I work Tuesdays 8-5 and Wednesdays 7-4.
