Dr. Kristin Hansen is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice since 2001. She cares deeply about helping her clients work through challenges in their lives with sensitivity and humor. Everyone has challenges but sometimes involving a mental health professional is helpful to produce needed or desired change. In her work, Dr. Hansen takes into account the influences of psychology, biology, culture, family context, and spiritual/religious considerations. She helps her clients to heal where healing is needed and also helps them find new ways to see the world and strengthen their relationships with themselves and with others. Her clients come to understand problematic patterns of relating within themselves and with others as she teaches them mindfulness skills, emotion regulation, and healthy ways of connecting in a safe experiential therapy process. Dr. Hansen’s psychotherapy work is informed by EFT, DBT, psychodynamic, IFS, and spiritually oriented psychotherapies. In addition to her therapy practice, she teaches and writes in the intersection of psychological agency, emotion, and religion/spirituality.
