Kristen Faircloth, M. Ed, LPC, CCTP, CPCS
Practice Co-Owner and Therapist
Security, stability, balance - these three words come to mind when I think of the ultimate human desire; to feel safe, stable, and overall a sense of balance within our lives; at times we may feel these are not being met. It is my hope for us to work collaboratively to identify problem areas and work towards regaining balance in your life.
My goal is to approach our therapeutic relationship with compassion, non-judgment, empathy, and acceptance. I build my work upon a client-centered approach, as I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of therapeutic success. I use an integrative approach and incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused, mindfulness techniques, and talk therapy with clients.
Overall, I work from the belief that all behavior is purposeful and displayed to meet a certain need. I aim to promote increased client awareness and insight, so they can better recognize their emotional needs and identify adaptive strategies to meet said needs. During this process, I focus on building my clients' confidence in their ability to cope with intense emotions, effectively express thoughts and feelings, and embrace their internal strengths while translating these skills into their everyday lives.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I obtained my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from the University of West Georgia. My experience includes inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings with clients ranging from adolescents, and young adults to older adult populations. Most recently I have worked with Young Adult clients facilitating process groups for those suffering from a variety of presenting issues. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, psychosis-related disorders, mood disorders, behavioral difficulties, identity formation, school-related issues, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
