Kristen Janica LCSW

Hi, I’m Kristen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified yoga instructor with nearly ten years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and couples. My work is rooted in solid clinical training while thoughtfully integrating holistic and experiential approaches to healing.

I believe the body, mind, and environment all play essential roles in emotional well-being. In my practice, I incorporate trauma-informed, experiential, and somatic-based approaches, including mindfulness, breathwork, yoga, gentle movement, and nature-assisted experiences. These practices support nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and a deeper sense of connection.

I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and explore meaningful change. Whether working with children, teens, adults, or couples, I collaborate closely with each client to support healing that feels embodied, empowering, and aligned with their unique needs and stage of life.

Areas of focus include:

Anxiety and stress regulation
Trauma-informed care
Nervous system regulation and burnout
Mindfulness, breathwork, and yoga-based practices
Life transitions and emotional resilience
Nature-assisted therapeutic experiences

"Where Nature Meets Nurture"

At Red Bird Cottage and Farm, your therapy session won’t take place in a traditional office setting. Instead, you’ll find yourself in a peaceful, tranquil equestrian/lake environment designed to promote healing and connection.

Imagine casting a fishing line into the lake as you talk with your counselor, or sitting quietly as horses graze nearby — all while engaging in meaningful therapeutic work. This serene setting offers a truly innovative and holistic approach to mental wellness.

Come discover a space where you can heal, grow, and feel whole again — naturally and authentically.

Insurance and private pay will be accepted for therapy session
