About Kristen Templin

Hi, I’m Kristen Templin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience.
I became a therapist because I’m passionate about helping people feel heard, understood, and empowered to create positive change in their lives. I specialize in supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma recovery, grief and loss, relationship issues, self-esteem, and major life transitions.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative, using evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and strengths-based strategies. I believe therapy is a safe space for growth and healing, and I strive to meet you where you are with empathy and respect.
If you’re ready to take steps toward a healthier, more balanced life, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey. Let’s work together to help you feel more confident, resilient, and at peace.
Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.
