Kristie Yeagley
I specialize in heavy life transitions or "tough times". Did you know your insurance will cover therapy sessions for life transitions or adjustments even if you don't have a textbook diagnosis of anxiety or depression? I bring 28 years of experience working in mental health, so you can feel confident you are in capable hands.
I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Supportive Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people understand what’s behind their thoughts and feelings and learn healthier ways to cope.
I want to help you crawl out of the hole you've been in, whether you created it or someone/something else did. I made the switch to a virtual practice in 2015 and never looked back. Therapy should be accessible and affordable for all. Here's what my average client comes to me for...break ups, contemplating divorcing, post partum adjustment, grief due to a death of a loved one, trauma history, work burn-out, can't sleep, can't relax, can't stay organized, can't get along with their family, caregiver fatigue etc. And for clarity here's who I don't work with...anyone less than 18 years-old, couples (although I very occasionally invite a spouse/partner to a session to work on a specific issue) , untreated (as in meds) Bipolar disorder, or heavy drug or alcohol abuse. Thank you for checking out my page and I hope to see you soon! ( instagram is @cypresstxtherapist )
First session
We will take time to explore all the details of your history and experiences, and then focusing on the present day concerns that brought you to therapy.
Strengths
I do not follow the typical "intake assessment" script to satisfy the health insurance companies. I need to know who you are at your core and what life history you've been through that brought you to therapy. Sometimes that can take 2 to 3 initial sessions, before we even start working on making change. It's a necessary step that should not be overlooked. Yes I have "theoretical models" I follow to help my clients but in its purest form therapy is all about building a relationship. My role is I can be someone you can come to during your hardest days. It'll be a safe space for you to let it all out, and just be yourself. I work hard to remain as non-judgmental as possible. After 28 years in this profession, I promise I've heard it all, so DO NOT worry about being judged. And if you self-sabotage yourself again and again, you better believe I will challenge you with a healthy dose of tough love. Lastly, we've got to laugh together. Sometimes life circumstances can be plain ridiculous, and all we can do is laugh at the irony of it all.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, depressed, or disconnected from themselves due to a significant life event or experiencing a "tough time" and is ready to make a change but isn’t sure where to start. These struggles can often make one feel anxious or depressed in ways they had never experienced before, and it can be downright scary to think..."Will I ever be my old self again, and do I have the strength to carry all this pain and struggle as my new normal?"
