Kristin Duenow, LMHC

I am an experienced mental health counselor and substance use disorder professional. I am dedicated to helping my clients improve their situations, mental health, and overall satisfaction with their lives.

Getting to the heart of intense emotions and changing the status quo can be frightening. Yet, so is the idea of remaining in a place that is no longer sustainable. You know it’s time to stop trying to fill that void with what is no longer working. It can be very difficult to step out of expectations and into your authentic self. The decision to seek professional therapy and create movement in your life says you are ready. Anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors and negative relationship patterns can become so overwhelming that we feel distrust in everything, especially ourselves.
On some level, you believe that something wonderful could happen. Imagine being able to set healthy boundaries with confidence and gain the strength to be yourself in relationships. You can stop unhealthy behaviors and create new routines. There can be healing from past trauma and grief and you can have a sense of safety at last. You can start to thrive again and get beyond the obstacles that seem to block your personal growth.
I believe in working from a strengths perspective. The work we do will help you discover inner strengths and move into healing connection with yourself and your environments. I am open, curious, accepting and collaborative. My interests include working with individuals around addiction, trauma, anxiety and unhealthy relationships. We will discuss the modality and techniques that work best for you and begin right where you are today, moving forward at your pace. I am available for a phone consultation. Call me so we can determine if we are a good fit for each other.
