About me

Hello, my name is Kristy. I have been a licensed clinical professional counselor for over 25 years. Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone also has encountered struggle of some type.. I use primarily solution focused techniques and my faith to help individuals, couples and families find help and feel empowered.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes a great deal of courage to take that first step to reach out and ask for help when going through struggles and attempting to make life changes. I commend you for taking that step and I look forward to hearing your story.

Kristy has helped me in so many ways. I come to her with anxiety, depression and childhood trauma. Kristy stands behind what she says to you, that at the end of the session, she lets you know that "YOU MATTER".. She is the BEST...

My therapist/ Kristy Hemmele is a great listener and honest and to the point. She is also caring and just what I have needed these past months to rebound from a lot of anguish. I am thankful she has helped me to see certain things in the situation and keep addressing the issues to move forward.
