Kristi McClatchy, LPC

Kristi McClatchy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, young adults, and mothers between ages 18 and 35 navigate anxiety, life transitions, and the lasting effects of early experiences. She offers a warm, affirming space where clients can process daily stressors while also exploring how childhood relationships and attachment patterns may be showing up in the present.

Kristi approaches therapy with respect for each person as the expert on their own life. Her role is to listen, validate, and collaborate to set both short-term and long-term goals for healing. She brings training in trauma-informed methods, including Internal Family Systems and trauma-focused techniques, to support survivors of childhood abuse and neglect through careful processing and parts-based work.

When attachment injuries are present, Kristi provides education about attachment theory and guides clients toward understanding their attachment style and cultivating earned secure attachment. She also integrates feminist and queer-allied perspectives to explore how social context, identity, and power dynamics affect wellbeing, and she has experience working with survivors of religious trauma. Creative methods such as art, movement, writing, meditation, and music are offered as options to tailor treatment to individual needs.

Kristi is transparent about the limits of her current training and does not address certain concerns, including substance dependency, active self-harm within the past year, severe eating disorders, psychotic or bipolar disorders, or recent suicidal ideation. She will refer clients to a better fit when additional expertise is needed. Kristi is not currently accepting clients.
