Getting to know Kristy Verma
My name is Kristy Verma, LPCC #13286. I hold a Master's in Professional Clinical Counseling from California State University, Stanislaus, and I am currently a doctoral student working toward an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. I am passionate about increasing mental health services at educational institutions to better support students' educational journeys. As a highly motivated mental health professional, I am genuinely dedicated to helping others heal and improve their mental health.
My approach
I believe every therapist has a unique approach to therapy. Mine begins with building a strong therapeutic bond and continues through various techniques I utilize, including CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, Trauma-Focused, Reality Therapy, Gestalt, and more. My goal is to support my clients with the best therapeutic approach that adapts to their current mental health symptoms and the interpersonal or intrapersonal challenges they are facing.
My focus
My experiences have shown me that cultural competence is essential not only in my career but also in my social, academic, and personal life. I continually seek skills and education to support children and families from diverse cultures, socioeconomic statuses, family support systems, ages, genders, and national origins. I understand the collectivist and individualist societies my clients identify with and support those struggling with a variety of mental health disorders, including mood, personality, and trauma disorders.
My communication style
I invite you into a safe space to discuss any issues impacting your emotional well-being. I want you to be heard and to understand that therapy is a nonjudgmental zone where you can share triggers affecting your mental health. Your voice and thoughts matter, and I empower you to believe in yourself. Within our sessions, I encourage and challenge you to build self-confidence so you feel more in control of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
