About Kristi Heisterman

As a licensed therapist in Texas and Utah, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. My professional experience spans addiction recovery, family dynamics, trauma healing, and relationship wellness. I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.

My therapeutic approach centers on understanding each person’s unique journey, with particular expertise in young adult issues, sexuality, addiction recovery, and family systems. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients build resilience, process challenging experiences, and cultivate healthier patterns of connection and self-understanding.

I believe in honoring each individual’s lived experience and supporting their path toward healing and empowerment. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, processing past trauma, or seeking to improve relational dynamics, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with genuine care and professional support.

“Kristi has been amazing! I was skeptical about therapy at first , but talking with Kristi has been so easy and refreshing. She asks questions that make me actually take a step back to realize the patterns. Overall I’d recommend her 10 out of 10 times. Theres only been a few sessions , but talking with her really does feel like talking to an old friend.”

“Kristi is just the best. We clicked instantly and our sessions felt like I was talking to my BFF who’s also very knowledgeable with all things mental health. She just gets it.”

“I’ve only had a couple of sessions with Kristi, but I’ve gotta say that I’ve never connected with a therapist so easily. I immediately felt seen. I appreciate her directness and communicating with me in a way that resonates with my personality. She’s not afraid to ask the hard questions and push me to grow.”

“So great, kind, and helpful.”

“Exactly the kind of therapy I’ve been needing. I’ve spent years in talk therapy without being guided or given helpful tools to help explain/understand my large emotions and the patterns they create. So grateful for Kristi’s experience and support!!”
