I am a licensed professional counselor and licensed addiction counselor in the state of Colorado. I have worked with clients with wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issue, substance use, grief and trauma. I have been trained in EMDR and have worked with individuals, families, couples and children.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristi Brewster. 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.
Counselor Brewster is a great match for me. She and I seem to be on the same page about our discussions and she points out things that allow me to recognize things I didn't notice before and gain more perspective on the subjects we discuss. I am very happy to be working with her and I think that she is compassionate, caring, and also shares an appreciation for what I've been through and what it will take to recover. Her medical background also makes it easier for me to explain my underlying physical conditions without having to make excuses and I think that she recognizes those conditions as part of the healing process. I appreciate her style of counseling and I would recommend her as a counselor to those who are looking for someone with more experience who has a background in various specific conditions.

Kristi is supportive, reliable, and motivating. I appreciate her check-ins through the week and feel heard during our virtual sessions.

Kristi is calming, attentive, and helps me feel safe talking about really hard subjects that I don't typically talk about with others. She asks great questions to help me open up, and I'm already learning skills to help me through tough moments. I look forward to learning a lot more from Kristi as we continue sessions.
