Getting to know Kristina Tau
Hi there, I'm Kristina!
I help individuals navigate their anxiety, depression, life changes/ challenges, and relationships in a compassionate and supportive way. My priority is building a safe therapeutic relationship with you to explore your wants and needs to become more confident, grounded and connected.
My focus
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, relationships, and self-esteem challenges. Together, we’ll build coping skills and create a personalized plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.
My approach
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts as well as solution focused therapy to assist you in problem solving. My approach is collaborative and I may utilize mindfulness and other techniques to support you and your goals.
My communication style
I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and encourage you to reflect on your experiences. You can expect me to be calm, patient, and understanding.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey into therapy began with a curiosity about human relationships and a desire to help others navigate life’s challenges. Experience in crisis, outpatient, and school settings has reinforced my passion for supporting healing, growth, and lasting change while helping clients recognize their strengths and capabilities.
My goals for you
We are a team. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you, because therapy is about you. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.
Our first session
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous, but we will move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
