Getting to know Kris Salyards

Kristen "Kris" Salyards, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. In her private practice, Kris works with individuals navigating the demands of modern life while managing challenges such as burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, interpersonal conflict, and major life transitions. Kris brings a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth presence to her work with children and teens, creating a safe space where they can be themselves, express what’s really going on, and feel truly heard. She understands that growing up today can be incredibly stressful—whether it’s pressure at school, friendship struggles, family dynamics, or simply figuring out who you are and where you fit in. With humor, empathy, and genuine curiosity, Kris helps young people gain confidence, manage emotions, and build healthy coping skills that last. For adults, Kris offers a collaborative and confidential environment to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Her trauma-informed, client-centered approach is rooted in respect and a deep belief in each person’s capacity for healing and growth. She meets clients exactly where they are, walking alongside them as they move toward greater clarity, balance, and resilience. Whether you're a teen feeling overwhelmed, a parent concerned about your child, or an adult seeking meaningful change, Kris helps clients tap into their strengths and develop practical strategies to move forward with confidence and purpose. Let’s start the journey together!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I bring a warm, grounded, and genuinely human presence to my work. I believes therapy works best when it feels like a real relationship, one built on trust, honesty, and a deep respect for where you are right now. Whether you're a teenager trying to make sense of a world that feels overwhelming, a parent worried about your child, or an adult who has been putting everyone else first for too long, I meet you exactly where you are. My approach is integrative and tailored to each person, drawing on evidence-based frameworks including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic awareness, and attachment-informed practice. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I believe in you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I will get to know you first and read your documentation second. I am interested in learning about what you want and need, what works for you if you have received therapy in the past, and where you would like to be at the end of your treatment. We will chart a path and plan; with regular check-ins on your progress we will determine if the interventions are working for you in real time.
