Getting to know Kirsten Storne-Piazza

Hi there, I'm Kirsten! Kirsten Storne-Piazza, Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor with a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. My goal is to build a strong therapist-client alliance and develop strategies together that help you achieve your highest potential in relationships and life. My approach I use a combination of Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Behavioral therapies. My approach to therapy is collaborative, interactive, and mindful. I utilize tools and solution-focused techniques to assess where we start and measure your progress along the way. My focus I specialize in working with first responders and their families. First responder work is stressful for both the individual and their loved ones. Having worked as a first responder myself and being married to one, I understand the unique challenges this career brings. My mission is to support those who have chosen to dedicate their lives to helping others. This career often involves trauma and critical incidents that can accumulate and impact family life. I aim to help individuals and families navigate these complex situations. My communication style The most effective therapy environment is supportive, non-judgmental, and calm—where you feel safe to express yourself openly. My journey to mental healthcare Coming from a law enforcement family, we experienced a traumatic work event that revealed a gap in support for first responders and their families. This inspired me to become trained and specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma, helping them navigate difficult situations to live satisfying and fulfilling lives. My goals for you I have found that using SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based—is effective in helping clients reach their objectives. My first session with you The first session is an introductory meeting to get to know each other, build trust, and set goals for therapy.
