Kristi Gusts, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #53744
ABOUT:
Hi, I am Kristi Gusts; Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, advocate, and cat lover.
Your connection with a therapist is an important one. I believe no single therapeutic approach is going to work for everyone, so our first session or two is going to focus primarily on identifying your needs and determining if we would be a good fit. I am trained in a variety of modalities including Depth Psychology, Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic Therapy.
All of my clients are different and I create individual treatment plans based on your goals, what you would like to achieve, and sometimes, the hard stuff that you'd rather not deal with (but know you have to). The therapist/client relationship is a partnership and I have a knack for asking the hard questions in a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment.
My educational background includes a Bachelor's Degree in Biology from University of California, Irvine and a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I have over ten years' experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma, depression and anxiety, suicidality and self harm, grief and loss, and co-dependency. During my time working for Penny Lane Centers, I was on the task force for the EDGY Conference and have a passion working with LGBTQIA youth.
Rebecca Solnit wrote, "We are our stories, stories that can be both prison and the crowbar to break open the door of that prison... Liberation is always in part a storytelling process: breaking stories, breaking silences, making new stories. A free person tells her own story."
I would love to meet with you and help you heal and grow by telling yours.
