Kristie Abernethy

Mental Health Counselor Intern Accent Counseling
Specialties: Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief,

Introduction

I strive to provide my clients with a genuine, compassionate connection and a nonjudgmental, safe space in which to explore their thoughts, emotions, experiences, and life context. I bring to counseling an open mind and heart, a passion for learning and evolving, an eclectic personality, and a lived experience that allows me to understand clients on a deep and meaningful level. All are welcome here- I am an ally. I offer a collaborative, Person-Centered, Integrative style of counseling that allows me to tailor the process to each client's personality, context, and goals, as well as our unique therapeutic relationship. I draw on several theories and modalities, including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, psychoeducation, and trauma-informed practices. I am excited to be able to fold Accelerated Resolution Therapy practices into my practice this fall.
