Kristen Ezsol, MA, LPC

Welcome!

I’m so glad you are here. I hope to help you become more of the person you were created to be by making sense of what you’ve been through, especially in your relationships with others and with yourself. 

My style is warm, compassionate, and genuine. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, emotion-focused, and body-centered. You’ll hear me talk a lot about being gentle and kind toward yourself, getting curious, and peeling back the layers to explore unmet needs. Some of my most profound experiences of growth and connection have happened when I’ve felt deeply seen and heard in the therapy space; I genuinely believe in this process!

As an advocate for racial and social justice and equity, I believe our context matters. All parts of you and your story deserve space to feel seen and heard.

I’ve been working in the field for five years and most of my training has been in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), both somatic forms of therapy. I have loved learning about the body for years! I may have accidentally/on purpose taken anatomy twice in undergrad and, later on, when I started exploring the body and its connection to emotions and trauma, I knew I found my fit. I hope we can help you feel more at home in your body.

 
Biography

Originally from New York, I spent considerable time in Colorado before venturing to South Carolina. I earned my undergrad in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University. I also completed training in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and in Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders.

I love running and yoga, spending time outside and reading, or hanging out with my husband, our one-year-old daughter, Aspen, and our doodle, Theo.
