Kristin Perry

LMHC

 

Kristin graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.S. in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training and worked with high school and collegiate athletes for years before returning to college and receiving her Master of Social Work from the University of Southern Maine in 2003.  


Kristin has experience supporting clients who experience severe and persistent mental illness, substance use, domestic violence, child protective services involvement, juvenile justice involvement, homelessness, and within the immigrant and refugee population. Kristin uses a person-centered approach to therapy by meeting clients where they were and helping clients identify areas of their lives that they would like to grow and explore, while navigating their needs and other challenges they would face. Kristin also assists clients in addressing the impact of a person’s mental health diagnosis and/or stressors in their lives which would often lead to a person losing enjoyment in life, social engagement, financial and family struggles, as well as a lack of motivation for change.

 

Kristin uses a relationship first approach with each client to individualize client care using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-based approaches, play therapy, and talk and solution focused therapies. Her goal for therapy is to provide a safe, respectful, and judgement free space for each client and to support each client through self-determination, self-discovery, and empowerment. Kristen helps each client build on their strengths and challenges to increase their ability to manage their mental health diagnosis and/or life stressors in healthy and meaningful ways.

 

Kristin brings her empathy, collaboration, adaptability, leadership, empowerment, into a judgement-free environment to support all people with independence and self-determination as they make their path in today’s world.
