Kristina Kerr

Kristina Kerr brings 20 years of experience working across a wide range of clinical settings and populations. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Butler University and a Master of Counseling from Trevecca University, and she practices as a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee and as a licensed clinical counselor in Kentucky. She is also a masters-level addictions counselor and a clinically certified trauma professional, and she is certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Kristina provides individual counseling for people coping with common DSM-5 diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and substance use disorders, as well as for concerns that arise outside diagnostic labels - low self-esteem, anger management, stress reduction, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and other life struggles.

She approaches each person from a person-centered stance rooted in unconditional positive regard, creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore symptoms and life issues at their own pace. Kristina aims to establish therapeutic rapport by meeting clients where they are and building a collaborative relationship based on trust, openness, and respect.

Her clinical work draws on evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, motivational interviewing, stages of change, solution-focused therapy, trauma-focused approaches, and practical coping skills. She blends these techniques into an integrated plan tailored to what each client finds most helpful at different stages of their healing and growth.

Kristina looks forward to meeting individuals who are ready to work toward the outcomes they want from therapy and to supporting them through that process.
