Kristen Hammond Counseling LLC
Welcome
I'm so glad you're here.
I am a licensed professional counselor providing individual therapy in Pennsylvania. My work is deeply influenced by the notions that all people have an innate need to be understood, the pursuit to make the unconscious conscious, and the understanding of attachment and its impact on healthy development.
Sessions with me are collaborative, warm, and full of respect. I am committed to helping people gain awareness and make changes through a connective and engaged process.
I approach therapy from a relational perspective, which means that we will use the therapeutic relationship and what occurs between therapist and patient as an unconscious avenue into your psyche. We will become collaborators in thought and work together to understand what is happening between us with both your past and present. My therapeutic orientation is psychodynamic, Gestalt, trauma-informed and feminist.
I want to help you feel more empowered in your mind, body, and soul. With awareness and support, true change is possible.
