Kristen Shortell, LPC, LPAT, ATR-BC
Introduction
I believe that no one knows you better than yourself. Only you know your true thoughts and feelings. You know when you are at your best, and you know when things aren't quite right. Having the courage to seek support when things get difficult is an act of self-love. Whether you're experiencing loss, change, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship conflict, family dysfunction, or simply need a safe space to process thoughts and feelings, Iris Counseling and Art Therapy is a designated haven where acceptance, creative expression, and healing are offered. I am a licensed professional counselor and board certified, NJ state licensed art therapist with almost a decade of experience working in the field. I take a an eclectic approach that is client centered, meaning I value the whole person and empower clients to take an active role in their own treatment. I'm currently accepting new clients, ages 13-99+, with in-person availability on Mondays and Friday, and virtual sessions throughout the week. I would be happy to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit and take the first steps towards positive change.
