Kris Fant

Kris Fant approaches counseling as a shared journey of exploration and imagination, offering steady support when life feels unsettled. Licensed to practice in both Oregon and Washington, Kris combines formal training with practical experience to walk alongside people as they clarify goals, uncover long-held hopes, and build a life that feels more aligned with their values.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Gonzaga University and earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. Before and after graduate school she gained experience in teaching, group leadership, crisis stabilization, and domestic violence advocacy, and for the past eight years she has worked as a mental health counselor.

Kris works with individuals facing mood concerns, anxiety and stress, reactions to traumatic events, grief, and life transitions. Her specialty is health behaviors, with extensive training helping people make changes around sleep, persistent pain, substance use concerns, exercise, and relaxation. Her style is warm and strengths-focused, helping clients recognize the resources they already bring and build on them to improve health, relationships, and work life.

In clinical work she draws from psychodynamic, attachment, Rogerian, and behavioral perspectives to create a holistic, individualized approach. Kris welcomes people who want to make changes but feel uncertain where to begin, and she is available to explore current circumstances, clarify direction, and support movement toward meaningful goals.
