Meet Kristen Shoemaker, MAEd, LPC, CPCS
Founder and Owner, Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Supervisor
Since 2004, Kristen has been walking alongside individuals as they begin to uncover the larger story taking place all around and inside them. Watching God use brokenness to move people toward redemption and wholeness is one of Kristen’s greatest privileges as a therapist.
Kristen’s therapeutic approach is a blend of Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Attachment Theory. She works with clients in a collaborative way to build rapport and to facilitate the client’s ownership in the room so clients can recognize their part in growing and understanding their story. She is extensively trained in the integration of psychology and faith, and faith-based counseling tools are available for integration at the client’s request. However, people of all backgrounds are welcome. Kristen also practices from a trauma informed care lens. Kristen is passionate about working with couples and adults in all seasons.
Kristen is married and has four children. She loves the Grand Tetons, time at Kiawah Island, and her goldendoodle, Pippin, and Cavapoo, Winston.
Kristen sees clients in person and via telehealth in Atlanta, GA as well as clients via telehealth from South Carolina.
