I am licensed in Minnesota with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
I am someone who is light hearted and will use some humor in our sessions. I believe we are a team and so while I bring knowledge of therapy, you bring the expertise of who you are and the situation at hand. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique challenges and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to working with you and getting to know you better.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Polyamory / Nonmonogamous Relationships

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristen Hayashi. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Definitely found a good fit here. She gets most of weird references and comparisons and uses them back to help me work through things. I'm suspicious I have neurodivergence but haven't been able to get tested yet and she totally respects my perspective and talks about ND with me and how it could relate to my coping and therapy.

Absolutely amazing! I’d come back to her sessions any day.

Kristen is attentive and thoughtful, asking questions that challenge thought patterns and ideas. I have found her to be patient, considerate, and kind without being overbearing.

Kristen is an amazing person and therapist. She understands where I come from and validates me. She is great at being open and helping me be open. She is flexible with my time and scheduling and is great adjusting to my needs and time. She is a great therapist and is the reason I’m continuing another months subscription.
