Kristin Adams, LCSW
Clinical Director
Sandy
First, let me acknowledge and admire your courage in taking the first step in your personal healing journey.
I lovingly work with people of all genders and orientations, ethnicities, races, and religions. I kindly offer individual, couples, and family therapy. Some of my areas of specialty include: anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, eating disorders, low self esteem, parenting challenges, ADHD, ODD, adolescents, relationship/marital issues, infertility, self harm, grief, trauma/abuse, substance use/abuse, and issues related to transgender/gender non-conforming individuals .
I understand that making the initial call, and attending the first therapy session, can be a frightening prospect. Knowing this, my primary objective is that you leave your first session feeling understood, accepted and validated. I am a firm believer that my ability to help you feel emotionally safe is key to a successful therapeutic relationship.
I know it is vital to your success to talk openly without feeling judged. I also understand that for people to make lasting change they need to be motivated out of love, not fear.
Having been in practice for over 15 years, I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of individuals and issues. I have extensive experience in intake interviewing and assessments for various needs.

Everyone can grow and learn from therapy which makes your step to healing powerful. My goal is to be a helpful part of that journey. As a Trans-male, my experience also includes the LBGTQIA+ community. I follow WPATH standards and state requirements to be qualified to help you, whether you are an adult or a teenager. I focus on transitions, whether that is gender, religion, or life in general.
​
My approach is individualized with the use of CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and/or Gestalt. I have also had many years of experience working with children, particularly with Autism and ADHD. I have training in play therapy, ABA techniques, and other child-focused techniques. Let me help you transition to a better future.
