Seeing light, finding peace, rediscovering YOU!
Life is just hard sometimes. An unexpected challenge, traumatic event or ongoing life struggles can make it difficult to manage emotions day-to-day. Some days you may be overwhelmed, full of worry, irritable, sad or lonely and unable to find joy and happiness. Having the courage to ask for help is the hardest and most important step. I’m here to guide you through these challenging times and to lead you to find yourself again.
Chat with Me
I am Kristin Cawley
I’m a licensed professional clinical counselor, who is passionate about helping adults struggling with depression and anxiety. I help my clients learn new ways to cope with sadness and worry, confront their negative beliefs and gain control of their emotions, so that they can live a happier, more manageable life. We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves. Let me be your advocate and show you a kinder, gentler way to treat the most important person in your life.
Individual counseling
Are you feeling sad, lonely or down?
Do you have low energy and are unable to find joy in everyday life?
Are you constantly worried or easily overwhelmed?
Do you feel irritable, guilty, or ashamed of your negative feelings?
Are you overly tired, restless, or having difficulty sleeping?
It takes courage and strength to reach out for help, and the first step is the hardest! I offer a warm, non-judgmental and inviting approach as we navigate this journey together. I will use practical and realistic techniques to help you gain strength and confidence to manage life stressors.

I specialize in Postpartum Depression (PPD), Anxiety (PPA), pregnancy loss, and providing care for mothers during their most challenging days.
In counseling we can address the following areas of concern:
-
Anxiety is what we feel when we are worried, tense or afraid – particularly about things that are about to happen, or which we think could happen in the future. Anxiety is a natural human response when we feel that we are under threat. It can be experienced through our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations.
-
Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.
-
Stress management is a wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed at controlling a person's level of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose of and for the motive of improving everyday functioning.
-
Grief is the response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or some living thing that has died, to which a bond or affection was formed. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, grief also has physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, cultural, spiritual and philosophical dimensions.
-
Coping refers to conscious strategies used to reduce unpleasant emotions. Coping strategies can be cognitions or behaviours and can be individual or social.
-
Life transitions are periods in life involving lots of change to your lifestyle. They might also be a result of important events that make you stop and evaluate your life.
-
Self-esteem is confidence in one's own worth or abilities. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame. Self-esteem issues can impart ones views of themselves in a negative way.
-
What is infertility? In general, infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant (conceive) after one year (or longer) of unprotected sex.
-
Pregnancy can take a toll on women at every stage; physically, mentally and emotionally. It is important to get proper care early, throughout and after.
-
The process of taking care of children until they are old enough to take care of themselves can be daunting. Talking with a counselor can help ease the overwhelm.
-
Women's issues refer to any concern that affects a woman's mental and at times physical health. These concerns can range from general mental health issues to challenges specific to women.
“I’m so glad I reached out to Kristin when I did. I had a complicated labor and I blamed myself for everything that went wrong. I felt like I had already failed. I didn’t think I could do it and spiraled with so many negative emotions, and fears. She helped me when I felt like no one could possibly understand what I was going through.”
