Kristina Houck

I offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy grounded in the understanding that we are all intrinsically whole and connected to the world around us. Through non-judgmental acceptance and awareness of thoughts and emotions, therapy can help us understand the pain we are experiencing, learn new ways of responding, and gain more joy in our life. I have nearly two decades of experience working with culturally diverse adults and adolescents addressing a range of issues including: navigating life transitions, relationship issues, parenting challenges, identity discernment, sexual assault trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and school or career discernment. I have a longtime personal mindfulness practice, grounded in my Catholic roots and current Zen Buddhist practice. In our work together, you can expect radical genuineness, empathy, and - likely - a bit of light-hearted humor, as we foster a relationship of acceptance and trust. I’ll help you find the resources within yourself that you may have forgotten and support you in developing new ways of being that will guide steps of action in alignment with your inner wisdom.
