Kristen McLaughlin
M.A., NCC, LPC-Associate, LCCA
Supervised by Amaris Sanchez, LPC-Supervisor #71106
I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where children and families feel truly heard and understood. I believe therapy works best as a collaborative partnership, and I value working closely with parents and caregivers to support a child's emotional growth, resilience, and overall well-being.

How do I schedule an appointment?
You can get started from our Contact page, where you'll find our intake form and a link to online scheduling. We offer in-person and virtual sessions.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your personal history, and your goals.
It's a collaborative space to determine the best path forward and ensure you feel comfortable with your therapist.
How long does therapy usually last?
The duration of therapy varies greatly depending on individual needs, goals, and the specific issues being addressed. Some clients find short-term therapy (a few months) sufficient, while others benefit from longer-term support. We will regularly review your progress together.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that life happens. We ask that clients provide at least 24 hours' notice when canceling or rescheduling an appointment. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed without notice may be subject to a late-cancellation/no-show fee.
A valid credit or debit card is required to remain on file for active clients. Read the full cancellation policy.
