Kristin Andersen (she/her)

Hello and welcome to my website. I am a private practice psychotherapist, offering in-person as well as telehealth therapy. I am a warm, grounded, and accepting therapist who seeks to create a safe space for you to share your struggles and concerns. All are welcome here. If you are struggling with problems that feel insurmountable, I am here to lend a helping hand. I am psychodynamically trained and pair my knowledge with my intuitive instincts, tailoring my approach to meet your own unique needs. My work involves listening deeply to assist you in uncovering what keeps you from living the life you seek. I am client-centered, compassionate, and attachment-based, using trauma-sensitive care as needed. I currently work with teens and adults. Fees and Insurance My fees are $200/session. I usually can hold space for sliding scale clients, however those spaces are currently full. I am in-network with Aetna Insurance. For other insurance plans, I am able to provide you with a monthly statement which may be helpful in receiving partial reimbursement. Statement on Racial Justice I am allied with the Racial Justice community. I recognize the deep roots and impact that white supremacy has on our country and strive to counteract this effect in my practice. I embrace the stance of cultural humility and recognize my efforts towards anti-racism, anti-oppression, multiculturalism, and inclusivity must be an ongoing effort of mine, especially in the treatment of trauma. Statement on Non-Binary and LGBTQIA+ Communities I am allied with the Non-Binary and LGBTQIA+ communities. I’m mindful of the history of physical, sexual and psychological oppression of individuals in these communities over time and place. I take a stance of cultural humility, avow that cultural competence is an ongoing process, and commit to continuing my education about these issues.
