Getting to know Kristen Whelan

Founder Kristen Whelan, LCSW, holds a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University and has diverse experience specializing in supporting teens, adults, and couples in overcoming anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and improving self-esteem and self-connection so they can live a more meaningful, authentic, and aligned life. Together, we will utilize an integrative approach tailored to your individual needs so you can achieve the best and happiest version of yourself! I strive to create a warm and trusting environment, free of judgment, to promote a safe space for self-discovery and personal growth. Through the difficult journey of self-exploration and by fostering the connections with oneself and others needed to thrive, I will empower you to recognize the value and strength you hold within. Therapy is a powerful place to explore new ways of understanding ourselves, how we show up in the world, and within our relationships.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am empathetic yet solution focused therapist who believes that relationships shape us and we shape them. I will gently guide you in becoming mindful of the mental shifts necessary to live a life of ease. Through self-empowerment you will learn how to live true to your values, quiet your inner critic, built trust in yourself, and as a result truly own and feel confident in your choices and actions. Together, we will nurture connections with yourself and those around you to transition what you discover and learn in sessions and successfully apply it within your everyday life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Together we will explore opportunities for self-acceptance, skill building, and understanding the mind-body connection to free yourself from the patterns and limitations imposed on you by your past. I take an active approach in each session to ensure growth and active steps towards your goals.
