Getting to know Kristen Alaniz

The challenges of the past and present can keep us stuck in our own heads, making it difficult to let go and move into the flow of a full life. Therapy can be the step toward that mind shift. My counseling practice is informed by the neuropsychology of emotional well-being, secular Buddhist mindfulness practices, somatic theories, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Together, we'll explore the underlying patterns and beliefs that may be blocking your way.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Whether you're dealing with the lingering effects of past experiences or facing new barriers, my hope is to provide you with insights and tools to approach your experiences in new and healthier ways. I believe we need to unpack how our connections have impacted how we see the world- ensuring our values, choices, and actions are positively aligned.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy is about first understanding and then creation! I use my training in anxiety management, trauma, and ADHD to help you gain insight into who you are and your journey. It's during this process that you have the opportunity to grow and create the unexpected.
