Kristina Mahal, LPC

Kristina Mahal, LPC

Psychotherapist
IL
Hi! Iâm Kristy, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a strong background in school counseling and a passion for helping children, teens, and young adults navigate life with more confidence and self-understanding. Over the last five years, Iâve supported diverse individuals in both general education and therapeutic school settings and worked as a career counselor helping young adults navigate transitions and move toward what feels right for them. My work also includes supporting individuals with ADHD and other neurodiverse traits, helping them understand their brains and build strategies that feel realistic and sustainable. My approach is down to earth, strength based, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when thereâs trust and real connection, so I focus on building rapport and creating a space where individuals feel safe being human. I bring in light humor when it fits, because sometimes a small laugh can open the door for bigger healing. Wherever you are in your journey, Iâm here to meet you there.
