Getting to know Christine Kersten

Hi, there! I'm Christi, the owner of Ardent Grace Counseling and Teletherapy, LLC. I commend you for taking the first steps toward a happier, more peaceful and balanced life. Making the choice to create positive change can be difficult, but it's well worth the effort! We started Ardent Grace in the wake of the pandemic, so patients needing to access already difficult-to-find mental health services in Alaska or Texas can have a more convenient option. Drawing from over 20 years of community mental health and private practice clinical experience, my approach utilizes a combination of evidence-based techniques that will be individually tailored to your specific emotional, spiritual and relational needs. Coming from a place of genuine empathy and respect, I'll work to help you find clarity in your situation and redefine issues to make them easier to address. ?My style is very interactive and conversational, so sessions always involve lots of feedback, encouragement, and focus on what you're doing right. Together, we can identify and implement new skills to better manage stress and anxiety and address any challenges to mental wellness. By building on your strengths, I'd like to help you feel empowered and ready to achieve lasting change. Therapy doesn't have to be a scary or mysterious process. It's just a series of conversations about a subject on which you are a true expert: yourself. You've already taken the first step toward change, just by reaching out. Let's figure out how to get you to where you want to be!
