Kristen Mischler, MFT

I have been using the Gottman Method in couples therapy to successfully transform romantic relationships for 11+ years. This method is based on extensive research on what tools "master couples" use to have successful relationships. I have seen this method turn around relationships again and again, even when the couple had lost all hope for a better future. I will ask you to work hard to achieve this success, but I will be there every step of the way to support you. I know taking this step can seem scary, but your relationship is worth it! I also work with individual clients. I strive to listen deeply, point out destructive patterns with objectivity, and support my clients unconditionally in discovering their true self. I help them listen to that empathic voice inside that challenges them to make change despite outdated coping mechanisms from their upbringing and life experiences. I endeavor to be insightful, nonjudgmental and creative. By using a gentle sense of humor and a supportive, caring style I am able to challenge my clients to achieve the goals they set for themselves.

I have been working with individual adults and couples for 17 years. When I work with an individual client, or couple, I like to listen to the deep experiences and needs that shape the issue at hand. This helps me to support the client in making lasting, healing change. I know this can be challenging, but I believe in my clients. I do my best to provide them with a safe and nurturing environment so they can own their choices and their journey.
