Hi There! I am a dual licensed professional counselor in both Florida and California State. My last twenty years of direct support positions working with a myriad of populations and ages has included counseling adolescents in high schools and foster care agencies, newly homeless, pregnant women in a non-profit agency (suffering from depression due to domestic violence), chronically mentally ill patients in hospital care, elderly clientele in an adult care facility, adults facing trauma and grief, and all ages on a crisis and text line. Through all these experiences I have been extremely humbled by so many people allowing me to enter their worlds. As a therapist, I utilize a person-centered approach using warmth, compassion, and and humor to understand each person I meet. I am especially attuned to those suffering loss or trauma, as I personally have lost two family members to depression. These losses have given me a special gift to help heal those around me and compel me to soften the anxiety, depression, or confusion of those who need it. I especially try to help people become more resilient in their lives since I have had to personally be this way and not to succumb to the hardships I have had to face. Rather than letting these hardships define me, I have wanted to connect with others and provide support for others facing life struggles. On a personal level, I am especially connected to nature and animals and have been an avid animal rescuer my entire life. I look forward to hearing YOUR story.

My name is Kristine Bartos and I am excited for the opportunity to collaborate with you. In my professional work and in my own life, I have discovered that truly understanding ourselves is a major component of any successful therapy, as self-knowledge can empower us to act consistently with our values and objectives despite the "noise" we hear from within and without. Therefore, a major foundation of my practice is cognitive behavioral. It's the work of understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, and developing expertise in the feedback loops of your own behavioral triad. I also like to incorporate a psychodynamic approach to address unresolved formative experiences as needed, as well as to provide practical guidance in symptom relief. Building coping skills for the here and now is essential to finding satisfaction in, and sticking with, the therapeutic journey. In addition to CBT, my background includes mindfulness-based practice and an interest in neuropsychology, and I like to incorporate both when indicated. My therapeutic style is warm and encouraging. I am goal and action-oriented as an individual, so I am good at combining a safe and welcoming therapeutic style with a more structured skill acquisition and concrete progress-based approach. I earned a Masters of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in 2012 and have since found my niche working with adults and adolescents in medical settings. My experience includes providing counseling and crisis intervention to clients presenting with a broad range of issues, including anxiety and depression, substance misuse and abuse, trauma, major chronic and/or life-threatening medical conditions, and other adjustment-related issues. As a result of working with such a diverse population in these settings, I have developed a strong belief in adapting my approach to you, the client, because our stories and challenges are unique. I would love to hear how I may be able to contribute to your life.
