Getting to know Krista Renella

If you are experiencing low self-confidence, people-pleasing, hopelessness, panic, and chronic pain, there is help. I'm here to support you. I specialize in treating depression, trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues. Survivors of trauma, empath support, narcissistic abuse recovery, codependency, LGBTQ, neurodivergence (ASD & ADHD), and alternate lifestyles (Poly, Kink, etc) are some areas of my expertise.

What should a new client know about working with you?

One of my specialties is recovery from narcissistic abuse. This emotional abuse is usually manipulative and destructive, all while publicly presenting as charming, helpful, and normal. Anxiety, depression, low self esteem, G.I. issues, other manifestations of trauma are often seen during or after this type of emotional abuse. Here are some of the types of Therapy that are incorporated in treatment: Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Attachment-based Culturally Sensitive Dream Analysis Eclectic Emotionally Focused Family Systems Gottman Method Humanistic Jungian Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Multicultural Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Psychodynamic Strength-Based

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Dream analysis, mindfulness, art, music, and humor can be incorporated into treatment. As an adult child of interracial immigrant parents, I've gained a personal understanding of the multi-stressors experienced by many first generation Americans. I've also increased my education around BIPOC concerns.
