Kristi L. Parker MFT

• Individuals
  
  Kristi employs an eclectic approach when working with individuals, depending on their specified goals. This may include cognitive-behavioral based methods, family systems work, and EMDR (a technique used in the reduction of symptoms resulting from trauma).
  
  Kristi works with individuals facing a variety of issues, which may include:
  
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Grief
• Relationship Difficulties
• Traumatic events
• Life Transitions

• Children
  

Kristi believes that working with children is often actually prevention. It is said that “the first years last forever” and so when things go wrong in a child’s life, the impact can have lifelong effects. The quicker things can be put “back on track”, the more likely later problems are prevented. Some common concerns with children include:

• Problematic Behaviors
• Aggression/Anger
• Problems at School/Childcare
• Emotional Concerns
• Difficulty with Transitions
• Emotionally Sensitive or Reactive
• Anxiety/Depression
• Traumatic Events
• Death/Move of someone close to the child
• Abuse/ Medical Procedures
• Divorce or Separation
• Parenting Concerns
• ”Strong-willed” Child
• Discipline and/or Sibling Issues
• Feelings of not being as close to your child as you’d like
