Kristen Ellis Strickler, M.Ed, LPC, CSAC, CPSC
Preferred Name: Kristen
About Me
Blended clinician working first hand in the field alongside first responders (Co-responder) in individual, community crisis response. This experience has allowed me to have connection with, and specialize in helping and treating first responders themself. Respecting the privacy and acknowledging the difficulty and stigma that comes with our everyday heroes that normalize trauma as a routine day at work. Culturally competent and dedicated to treating first responders and the strength it takes to ask for help, when you ARE the help.
