Kristen Powell Therapy and Consulting, PLLC

I have worked in the behavioral health field for more than 30 years and have worked at several nationally recognized treatment programs. Due to my desire to provide more personal, individualized care to women, I opened my private practice. My therapeutic approach is one of partnership, creating a meaningful collaboration of two people working together to find solutions. I am honored to walk beside you in your journey of self-reflection and discovery, providing guidance and direction as needed. I use many therapeutic modalities and treat women 18 and older. I specialize in grief/loss, life changes/transitions, mothers with children in treatment and can provide treatment placement consultation. Grief is typically the byproduct of loss, and loss presents in many forms. To one person, the loss of a treasured pet, a marriage or the ability to have children is as real and devastating as another person’s loss of a child, spouse, or parent. No one loss has greater value than another. Therefore, if a woman is living with grief, she needs compassionate care offered in a safe, nurturing environment to rediscover happiness. Life transitions can present themselves in many ways including, transition to college, career changes, empty nesters, menopause symptoms and caretaking of aging parents to name a few. These women often benefit from professional guidance to help them discover their intrinsic value and redefine their identity. Mothers with Children in Treatment (before, during and after). When a child struggles with a disorder or addiction, the focus is naturally on them. But what about the mother who has lived through the pain and struggles with that child. These mothers need professional support and empathy from someone who understands. In addition, they need new strategies to help cope with the situation, both in the moment and in the future. If you, or a woman you know, could benefit from my professional guidance and compassionate care, please contact me at 630-956-6041 or kristen@kristenpowell-therapy.com I offer in-person sessions, telehealth and walk and talk therapy. In addition to my private practice, I work with Behavioral Health organizations on a contract basis that are in need of Business Development support including: Brand Awareness, Professional Outreach/Strategy and Process Improvement. I would be happy to talk with you if I can help in this area of practice.
