Introduction

Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and positive change? I'm Kristen Buongiorno, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in empowering individuals to overcome life's obstacles and achieve mental well-being. I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to create lasting transformation. As a dedicated therapist, I have worked with diverse populations, supporting those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, major life changes, illness/cancer, sexual assault, and Veterans issues, including combat/MST. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the connection between our thoughts and behaviors, utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to promote positive change. My direct and compassionate nature enables us to have those tough conversations that can lead to powerful breakthroughs. I believe in the transformative power of mindfulness and meditation, using these practices to help you ground yourself and find inner peace. In our sessions, you are the expert of you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together, we will develop treatment goals that align with your unique needs and aspirations. If you come to me with the motivation to create positive changes in your life, I am ready, willing, and able to support you on your journey. Taking the first step towards seeking help and deciding that you deserve a better life is commendable. Together, we can navigate challenges, cultivate resilience, and unlock your inner strengths to achieve your goals. You are worthy of better, and I firmly believe that change is possible. It's time to embark on this journey of growth and healing, and I'm excited to meet you exactly where you are. Contact me today to schedule an appointment. Let's take that first step together towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
