Welcome! My name is Kristen Larem and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that believes every individual deserves compassionate care and understanding of their unique, yet oftentimes challenging situations. I offer a safe and supportive space to explore the broad spectrum of mental health struggles.
I am passionate about working alongside women from pregnancy through motherhood as they navigate new life transitions. Being a mom is a beautiful and chaotic journey. I, myself, have lived experience of the mental load motherhood carries. I have extensive knowledge and specialized training in perinatal mental health, parent child attachment and bonding, and parent management.
I warmly welcome clients from youth through young adults who are facing a wide range of concerns or seeking support. With more than 6 years of experience working with youth and families in the academic setting and in private practice, I am confident we can work together in creating a plan for long-lasting change.
I utilize an integrated therapeutic approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Attachment, mindfulness, play and a little fun and humor, with an emphasis on a person centered, strength based perspective because I believe we all have the natural ability to grow, mind and body. My goal is to provide a space that you feel understood and welcomed each week. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
