I have been a therapist for 20 years. I have done extensive work with families in conflict and with victims of domestic violence. In addition, I am a military veteran and very well versed in all areas of military life, having been a child in a military family, being a military wife, and being in the military myself. I am also the mother of two veterans. I have had a general private practice of my own and I work in a rural area with both adults and children. I have a very calming and non-judgmental approach with my clients, as I just love people and I want to help.

Kirsten King has been my therapist for almost 2 and a half years now, and after 20 years in therapy and having many, many different therapists over those years, I can confidently say that Kirsten has not only help me save my physical life in moments of crisis, but she has helped me tremendously in finding out who I really am, instead of believing all the people in my life told me who I am. I’ve never felt more heard by a therapist, more safe talking to a therapist, or noticing and feeling the progress she has absolutely been the catalyst in helping me make, than I have from Kirsten. She is truly a therapist to genuinely help people, and she empathizes with people from her very soul. I feel grateful to get to work with a wonderful therapist and person like Kirsten, thank you so much for all you do for everyone!!

I've been seeing mental health professionals off and on for the last 20+ years, and the ones who have helped me the most with healing and growing have also been the ones who are more challenging for me. Kirsten has helped me immensely by validating my trauma I've endured and helping me come to a place of acceptance without minimizing the abuse I've endured, as others sometimes do. She demonstrates practical knowledge of the hurdles I face and navigates easily between offering her guidance and offering an empathetic ear.

Ms. Kirsten is very nice, welcoming, understanding, and easy to talk to. Before meeting her, I had not ever gone to therapy so I was not sure what to expect. She made me feel comfortable and I looked forward to seeing her and sharing with her each week. Kirsten validated all my feelings and I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. She listened attentively to everything I had to say and I never felt like my problems were meaningless. 10/10 experience.
