Kristina Connolly, LAC

Psychotherapist
NJ
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans* I support clients through challenges impacting daily life, including societal, work-related, and personal issues such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using varied strategies tailored to each client, I explore past experiences to identify root causes, actively listen, and guide clients in reshaping negative thought patterns. Therapy offers skills that enhance relationships, boost self-confidence, and improve coping, helping individuals thrive emotionally and psychologically in everyday life. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and validated, working collaboratively to achieve their goals with empathy and fresh perspectives. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, my dog Harlow, running, and exploring new places. If not now, when' Starting therapy can be the hardest part of one’s therapeutic journey, but it can also be the most rewarding. You won’t know unless you try. If you’re reading this, you have clearly given therapy some thought, so you might as well take that first step and book that first appointment that could change your life!

What should a new client know about working with you?

My ideal client is a motivated adolescent or young adult, open to self-reflection and growth, aiming to replace maladaptive patterns with healthier ones to improve relationships and self-awareness; I support them through life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues, family dynamics, body image concerns, academic challenges, and trauma, with both short-term and long-term therapeutic approaches.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Outside of therapy, I am a human being. I understand completely how cruel this world can be sometimes, as I have experienced it myself. If you learn one thing throughout our sessions together, I want it to be that I care about you and wish you the greatest success in life. Everyone has a desired potential, and I want to work with you to reach that by supporting, empowering, and championing you throughout your journey. I practice from an authentic, judgment-free, unbiased perspective and want you to feel like you matter after leaving our sessions.
