I'm Kristen Buongiorno, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in empowering individuals to overcome life's obstacles and achieve mental well-being. I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to create lasting transformation. As a dedicated therapist, I have worked with diverse populations, supporting those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, major life changes, illness/cancer, sexual assault, and Veterans issues, including combat/MST. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the connection between our thoughts and behaviors, utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to promote positive change. My direct and compassionate nature enables us to have those tough conversations that can lead to powerful breakthroughs.
