Kristina Knabenshue

About me

I became licensed in 2014 (LCPC), having graduated in Fall 2013 from the University of Southern Maine's Rehabilitation Counseling master's program. I love working with adolescents and adults, striving to provide compassionate, patient, trauma-informed, and culturally-sensitive care. I have experience in helping others improve their self-care, develop more effective communication skills, set stronger boundaries, enhance interpersonal relationships (including parenting issues), improve time management skills, process grief and other difficult life transitions, and so much more. I am familiar with neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ issues, complex family trauma, and several other life experiences.

I draw upon several therapeutic modalities including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused therapy, Client/Person Centered therapy, and Psychodynamic therapy.
