Getting to know Kristin Saunders

Have you considered if it could be helpful to talk with a professional about personal stressors, potentially making life changes or learning about mental health? I'm Kristin, I have been working in the Social Work field for 20 years, in the last 10 years I have focused on developing a comprehensive approach as a behavioral health therapist. This approach includes competence in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotional Freedom Tapping and Certification in Transformation of Grief and Loss. I have used these approaches with people to help them navigate their mental health diagnoses and learn what is best for them individually as they explore their strengths and resources to meet their treatment goals. These Evidence-Based interventions work together to help individuals gain insight into their thoughts, feelings and behavior patterns with acceptance. As a therapist I offer tools to support the modifying of unhelpful thinking patterns that may become barriers allowing a person to envisions and identify actions towards more desirable personal development, relationship and life outcomes. Evidence shows that as individuals tune into their most desired outcomes and develop behavior patterns towards those outcomes symptoms such as depression and anxiety can be reduced and in some cases extinguished! There is a reason we hear people say "maybe you should talk to someone". In my experience I have often heard clients say "I wish my (mother, sister, husband, child)" would get into therapy. There can be a lot to gain! I obtained my Masters in Social Work from the University at Buffalo, NY. I have been in clinical practice for 15 years working starting in a residential setting and for the last 10 years in an outpatient clinic.
