Kristine Tschopp, LPC

I’ve worked in the mental health field for almost 20 years, and one of the things I’ve learned is that therapy doesn’t have to feel formal or uncomfortable to be effective. I want the people I work with to feel like they can actually be themselves with me.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and have spent much of my career working with adolescents, which continues to be one of my favorite populations to work with. I genuinely enjoy teenagers—their humor, their honesty (even when it takes a while to get there), and helping them figure out who they are while navigating everything that comes with growing up.

My background also includes extensive experience working with forensic populations and individuals with complex mental health and trauma histories. I have specialized training in EMDR and hypnotherapy, and I provide LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming care. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, and those who simply feel stuck and aren’t quite sure how to move forward.

My style as a therapist is pretty straightforward. I’m warm and supportive, but I’m also going to be honest with you. I’ll ask questions, point out patterns, challenge you when I think it could be helpful, and probably use some humor along the way. You won’t find me sitting silently across from you and nodding for an hour.

I also don’t believe there is one therapy approach that works for everyone. Some people benefit from traditional talk therapy, while others have spent years understanding why they feel the way they do and still can’t seem to change it. That’s one reason I value approaches like EMDR and hypnotherapy—we can sometimes work with things differently when talking about them over and over isn’t getting you where you want to go.

Most importantly, I want therapy to be a place where you don’t have to perform, filter yourself, or worry about being judged.

Come as you are.

We’ll figure out the rest together.
