Kristina Kerr , LPC

Kristina Kerr is a licensed counselor with two decades of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Butler University and a Master of Counseling from Trevecca University, and she combines academic training with years of clinical work serving diverse populations.

Kerr holds licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor and is credentialed to address both addiction and trauma-related issues. She is a masters-level addictions counselor and is clinically certified in trauma work, which gives her additional training and comfort in treating co-occurring addiction and trauma challenges. Over the past 20 years she has provided individual counseling for conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, and substance use disorders, as well as for concerns like low self-esteem, anger, parenting struggles, relationship difficulties, sleep and eating issues, and life transitions.

Her practice is grounded in a person-centered philosophy that emphasizes unconditional positive regard and respect. Kerr aims to meet people where they are, building trust and openness so clients can explore symptoms and life patterns without judgment. She integrates evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy - in which she holds certification - as well as motivational interviewing, stages of change, solution-focused techniques, trauma-informed methods, and practical coping skills. This flexible, integrated approach allows her to tailor interventions to each personâs needs and goals.

Kerr works with individuals on a collaborative path toward clearer coping strategies, improved relationships, and greater emotional balance, using the techniques that best fit each person at different points in therapy.
