Getting to know Kristy Banathy

Hi there, I'm Kristy! My name is Kristy Banathy, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the Sacramento area of California. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. Over the past 20 years, I have been privileged to be invited into the lives of children, families, and adult individuals struggling with learning difficulties, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, crisis, and a multitude of other challenges. I do and will always handle these invitations with the honor they deserve. My approach I don't believe there is a ?one-stop shop? for clients. Because of this, I am eclectic in my approach and work with clients to ensure that I am serving them in ways that feel congruent to them and that their needs are met. I draw most heavily from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but I have training in other modalities as well. My focus I am open to working with any client who has dedicated themselves to changing some part of their life for the better and is looking for a therapist to help them along that path. I have most often worked with adults struggling with anxiety, depression/mood difficulties, life transitions, parenting challenges, and stress. Please note that I prefer to work with individuals. My communication style My communication style is based on curiosity, compassion, and humor (as much as is possible and respectful). By nature, I am a very transparent person, and this is reflected in my interventions. I believe openness and honesty build trust and strength in relationships and are the most respectful paths between two people. The life path of each client is uniquely and perfectly theirs; I see myself as a guide who walks behind, beside, and in front of the client at different points in the journey.
