At Kristle J Small Counseling Group LLC, I serve as a Pre-licensed Therapist dedicated to supporting individuals, teens, and young adults. I am passionate about creating a safe, warm, and inviting space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow.
I specialize in working with youth and young adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I have a deep commitment to supporting those who have experienced complex or relational trauma, and I approach this work with sensitivity, compassion, and care. I am also proud to provide affirming support to members of the LGBTQ+ community and strive to create an inclusive environment where clients can explore their identities openly and safely.
For clients who value spirituality, I welcome conversations about faith and can thoughtfully integrate faith-based perspectives into the therapeutic process when desired. I believe therapy should honor the whole person — including their cultural background, lived experiences, and belief systems.
My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness-Based interventions, and Client-Centered Therapy. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, helping you build practical coping skills, deepen self-awareness, and strengthen emotional resilience.
I believe healing happens within supportive relationships, and it is an honor to walk alongside my clients as they move toward greater clarity, confidence, and overall well-being.
