Kristen Walker, MA, LCMHC, MLADC

I am a LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) and a MLADC (Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor) who has been providing individual counseling to adult clients with depression and anxiety for 23 years. I specialize in Co-occurring Disorders, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I look forward to helping you on your mental health journey.

Throughout our lives, we all need someone to listen and help guide us. Life provides us many significant successes and challenges and it is easy to feel overwhelmed. We all need to know, and sometimes to be reminded, that we are all worthy of happiness, respect, compassion and love. It is not always easy navigating relationships and understanding one's self-worth. I support individuals, couples and families explore and navigate through challenges of mental health and substance use. Our personal journeys are our own. Living with mental health and/or substance use challenges takes resilience and courage.
I have worked in many settings including community mental health, assertive community treatment and residential care. I work from a stage-based, integrated model of care. My expertise is in working with adults with co-occurring disorders, substance use, depression, life transitions and anxiety, etc. I am comfortable working in multiple treatment modalities.
I look forward to working with individuals and their loved ones. I hope to offer a safe, confidential and supportive environment for all I meet. "Never be ashamed to say, 'I'm worn out. I've had enough. I need some time for myself. That isn't being selfish. That isn't being weak. That's being human." -Topher Kearby
