Introduction

I am so glad that you are thinking about therapy! I hope that you will be able to find the help that you are looking for. My name is Kristen Mihara and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #65689) with an extensive background in counseling. I have been in the clinical field for over 12 years. I practice using Dynamic Emotion Focused Therapy (DEFT) which is a compassionate collaboration that allows the person to move beyond defenses and self protective strategies to connecting to their adaptive emotions and their core self. I find this way of practicing increases access to emotional capacities and helps people to build more dynamic and trusting relationships with themselves and others. I specialize in Christian counseling for clients that want to integrate their faith into therapy. I also specialize in helping client with anxiety and stress decrease their symptoms. I can also help people with relational conflicts better approach/manage their relationships.
