Introduction

Hi, my name is Kristy Saffery, and I work with individuals 18 and up struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma-related experiences, substance-use and interpersonal issues. One of my passions include culturally responsive therapy, making room for people’s culture in the therapeutic process, and creating a brave space for people to be authentic. I want to honor the significance and importance of a person’s culture and how it intertwines with their view of the world. As well as navigating the impact of intergenerational trauma and how that changes the family/community dynamic. My goal is to partner with my clients on their journey towards healing and acceptance through a person-centered approach. You are the expert of your life story and experiences, and I am here to provide an open, non-judgmental space to process and navigate this. I implement a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as CBT, DBT, & Motivational Interviewing. At the end of the day, I want all my clients to use this therapy space in whatever way you need and feel safe enough to just be and heal. Traverse looks forward to hearing from you! Please reach out to us directly at 425.371.7825 to connect with someone immediately. We are also accessible via email at admissions@traversetherapyservices.com.
