Kristina Nelon, LMHC
Real connection. Practical understanding. Therapy tailored to you.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported-just as you are.
About Me
Finding the right therapist can be difficult, especially when you want someone who will truly listen and take the time to understand you. That means getting to know you as a whole person, including your story, strengths, relationships, and the details that matter most to you.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am “real” with them and that they can comfortably be themselves in our sessions. I bring honesty, warmth, and appropriate humor into therapy, creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted without judgment.
Therapy with me is more than talking about what happened. I help you understand how your experiences have shaped your brain, nervous system, emotions, and relationships—and turn that understanding into practical tools that fit your life.
My approach may include EMDR, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques.
Trauma work is one of my greatest professional passions.
