About Kristen Udell

I am licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Iowa with 8 years of professional work experience. My therapy style and approach draws influence from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, and mild depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I view us as a team, working at finding solutions to the issues you bring to therapy as well as healing from past or present trauma. I will typically respond to messages in 24 hours after receiving them or in 48 hours if it’s over the weekend. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

“Kristen is great! I highly recommend! She has helped me work through some very tough and sensitive issues.”

“Kristen is the best! I feel so heard & seen when talking to her. I've come a long way in the two years I've been seeing her & it shows in so many ways in my life.”

“Kristen is such an impactful, positive, thoughtful therapist. She has a wonderful way of redirecting your thought process on a subject to focus on what you need to work on in a positive way without making you feel bad about the situation. She is funny and creative, extremely professional, and she has really makes a difference for me.”

“Kristin is the best therapist- she listens, offers practical solutions to my issues, relates with her experiences, & most importantly- she understands me.”

“Kristen has helped me in more ways than I know. I wasn't someone who considered therapy or counseling but I was dealing with a few things that overwhelmed me. Kristen was able to help me through those and become a more fulfilled and self-actualized version of myself. She's great. Non-judgemental and genuinely caring.”

“Excellent therapist”

“Kristen has been an amazing help with mental health issues. She has helped me so much in dealing with grief, depression, work/life stresses and anything I need. I appreciate the no-judgment zone and how she works with me right where I am in the moment. I would highly recommend her as a therapist!”

“Very personable, easy to talk to and open up with”

“She is exactly the person I need and want to have in my corner to grow and accomplish my life goals.”

“Great therapist”

“Kristen is relatable and down to earth. She was never judgmental and it was easy to talk to her about my most pressing issues, no matter how troubling. She helped me set reasonable expectations and goals that I was able to accomplish at the end of my counseling journey with her.”

“Kristin is great- not a stuffy type but knows how to "read the room" so to speak, while also good at the fun stuff. Great at listening & helping me to process things. A++++++++, 100/10, if I had a different therapist I'd ditch them & find Kristin Udell- I'm very happy with her”

“Kristin was caring and attentive. She is extremely understanding and knowledgeable. She takes the time to not only provide excersizes to help, but also to find and send supporting information sources. She was fantastic and I would happily work with her again!”
