Life can bring challenges that leave us questioning direction, self worth, or value. While trying to navigate to a place of peace, we can find ourselves feeling stuck and in need of healing, which doesn’t happen in isolation. It begins the moment you feel truly heard and understood. To accomplish this, you will be met right where you are in life, in a safe, secure environment that fosters unity. Together, we can join forces to collaborate on a path forward to find solutions that fit within your life.

Areas of life in which i can help you include: >Childhood trauma

>Adult traumatic events

>ADHD

>Challenges of life as a veteran/first responder

>Anxiety

>Depression

>Men’s issues

>Teen issues

>Self-esteem / confidence

>Stress/Burnout

>Anger Management

What you can expect

I bring a trauma-informed approach that recognizes the impact past experiences can have on our present lives. In a safe environment, we can challenge the negativity instilled by trauma and other life challenges to enable healing and growth while promoting a positive view of self and the world. To deepen this healing, we can use Lifespan Integration to reorganize the traumas that have been experienced to develop a deeper understanding of self while cultivating wholeness and well-being.

I also provide a unique opportunity to connect with veterans and first responders, as I understand firsthand the unique challenges and pressures that come from serving in those roles. With training in trauma and ADHA, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges, build skills, and find meaningful change. Whether you are experiencing stress, trauma, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to walk with you on the journey towards overcoming any challenge that you might be facing.

About me

My passion for helping others heal from trauma or other life challenges has grown from my own journey through times of darkness and witnessing the journeys of others. 28 years of combined military and first responder experience taught me that there are many different ways life can feel heavy. However, it has also taught me that even the most overwhelming challenge can be overcome. While navigating my own ups and downs of life, I became intimately familiar with how traumatic experiences impact well-being, relationships, and the ability to see value within ourselves.

The road to becoming a counselor wasn’t a conventional one. I completed a Bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling while also working as a first responder. Since graduating, I have received training in ADHD and Lifepan Integration and have earned certification as a Certified Trauma Professional. Outside of counseling, I am passionate about all things outdoors and can often be found at a river or sporting event with friends and family.

Hello, I’m Kristin Overman, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and fully certified Lifespan Integration practitioner. I specialize in working with adults and teens who are ready to heal deeply, grow courageously, and reconnect with themselves and the people they love most.

My clinical work focuses caring for those who are suffering from:

>Anxiety

>PTSD

>Depression

>Suicidal Ideation

>Domestic Violence (physical, emotional, spiritual, sexual)

>Trauma

>Sexual Assault

Many of the individuals I support are carrying wounds from early childhood trauma and experience challenges with emotional regulation, self-compassion, and maintaining meaningful connection in their closest relationships.

At the core of my work is the belief that wholeness of mind and spirit is fully possible. A mental health diagnosis, in my view, is not a life sentence—it’s a signal that something painful or overwhelming has happened, often in isolation, and the mind and body are simply asking for care, connection, and repair.

You can expect a warm, loving, and grounded environment—one where we stay focused on what truly needs attention while honoring the pace you need for safe, lasting change.

My Background

I completed my Master of Science in Applied Psychology with an emphasis in Mental Health Counseling at Eastern Washington University in 2012. Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of intensive treatment settings including partial hospitalization programs, outpatient and residential facilities, and support groups for domestic violence survivors. Each environment shaped my understanding of trauma and strengthened my commitment to providing care that is effective and compassionate.

My decision to pursue certification in Lifespan Integration came from a desire to offer more than symptom management. This rigorous two-year training process—filled with study, practice, and my own personal work—helped me understand how profoundly the nervous system holds our stories and how healing becomes possible when the root of pain is finally addressed within our body. I am not a traditional “talk therapist.” My goal is always to help remove the problem, not just cope with it.

Who I Am in the Therapy Room

Clients describe me as cheerful, optimistic, warm, calming, direct, and deeply compassionate. As a fellow human, I value you as a person and your potential apart from anything anyone has ever said or done to you. I believe you are valuable and precious apart from anything you have done or might do. As your therapist, I am passionate about unlocking the prison cell of pain you have been living in.

A Bit of My Story

I became a therapist because of my own journey through a painful and domestically violent marriage more than two decades ago. My frustration and disgust with dysfunction and abuse lit a fire under me to return to school at age 34 and build a career dedicated to healing.

Today, life looks very different. I am happily married, and my husband and I love exploring the Pacific Northwest—clamming, fishing, and treasure hunting at estate and garage sales. I can honestly say I have as much joy now as I once had pain.

What to Expect Logistically

I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I don’t bill insurance directly. I do provide superbills (special receipts containing medical coding) for clients who wish to apply for partial reimbursement through their insurance. Coverage varies widely, so contacting your insurance provider for details is the best approach. Session fees are $175 for a 55 minute session.

A Welcoming Space for All

I work with individuals of every background and belief system. For those specifically seeking a Christian counselor, please know this is a safe place to integrate your faith, discuss spiritual concerns, or request prayer if you desire.

If You’re Ready for Real Change

If counseling hasn’t helped in the past—or if the weight of your history, anxiety, depression, or fear still feels heavy—I want you to know that healing is possible. The right treatment releasing the trauma stored in your body plan can help you finally move out of the places you feel stuck.

You don’t have to keep living in survival mode. I would be honored to walk with you toward peace, connection, and wholeness.

About me

Before entering the counseling field, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from The George Washington University and a PhD in Biomedical Science from Northwestern University. After a brief career in research, I spent nearly two decades focused on raising my two children — an experience that has profoundly shaped my perspective on growth, connection, and resilience. I’m currently completing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Palo Alto University and look forward to graduating in December 2026. For over 20 years, I’ve called the Pacific Northwest home, where I live with my husband, two teenage daughters, and our little dog, Miso. Our family loves traveling, boating, crabbing, hiking, and cooking together. In quieter moments, you can often find me reading, listening to podcasts, or taking long walks with a friend.

Building a genuine, trusting relationship is at the heart of my work. I want to understand your story — your experiences, your values, and what matters most to you. As a culturally affirming counselor, I deeply respect and honor the unique backgrounds and perspectives that shape who you are. Together, we’ll approach your challenges with compassion and curiosity, while recognizing your strengths and resilience.

I use an integrative counseling approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic methods so that our work together can be tailored to your individual needs and goals. I believe that life holds both joy and pain — often at the same time — and that meaningful growth happens when we allow space for both. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey and to meet you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll work to uncover the insights, strengths, and tools that help you move toward healing and greater self-understanding.
