I am a family and marriage therapist trained clinician that holds a license in mental health counseling. I have worked with a variety of clients in different settings that present with a wide range of concerns, to include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, legal issues, substance use, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced post traumatic trauma related to the military, as well as PTSD not associated with the military.
My therapy style tends to be more direct. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels and I believe everyone can overcome whatever concerns they seek to improve. My approach combines CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused treatment with other modalities as needed. I will work with you to determine your goals and a treatment plan to ensure the goals set by you are met.
Now in particular presents with challenging times that have magnified mental health needs, but also opened new opportunities for people to seek help. It is brave and empowering to take that first step to improve ones self.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kirsten Peebles. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Kirsten is someone I can trust to be honest and direct. She asked very intentional questions that allowed me to process my current thinking. I’d highly recommend working with Kirsten.
