Kristen Gennety, LMSW
About me
I am licensed in Michigan with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence, as well as depression and ADHD. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment that suits their strengths and is tailored to their needs. I believe humor and personal strengths are crucial to the therapy process, and strive to create a compassionate and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. You know your experience best, and I am here to help you in the effort for change. Taking the first step to reach out for therapy can be extremely hard, so I appreciate you taking the chance and look forward to speaking!

Kristen is truly a wonderful therapist and makes the idea of therapy a lot less scary. She’s understanding, patient, and gives me individualized ways to help with my problems that work for me. She’s flexible with scheduling and always able to squeeze me in as needed. I’m very grateful I chose Kristen as my therapist and enjoy her professional input but also her outgoing personality.

I have enjoyed Kristen as my therapist. She has really opened up my mind to getting down to the source of why I started therapy. She is very understanding and gives the best advice to the best of her knowledge. I highly recommend Kristen.

Easy to talk too, makes you feel comfortable and gives clear steps for you to achieve your goals. She’s been a good communicator since beginning
