@kristimurnin
I provide trauma-informed therapy, assessments, and coordinated community mental health care.
What I'm looking for
I've provided individual, group, and family therapy at Community Solutions, supporting clients through mental health assessments, ANSA, CANS, treatment planning, and care coordination.
My clinical approach draws on narrative therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, positive psychology, and trauma-informed care. I prioritize culturally responsive support, empathetic communication, confidentiality, and ethical practice.
As a Rehabilitation Counselor at Community Solutions, I help clients build functional skills, identify resources, and gain greater independence. I use de-escalation and empathy to create a safe space for growth while collaborating with team members, management, and third parties.
Earlier, I spent nearly a decade at iD Tech translating user needs into software requirements, coordinating testing cycles, documenting systems, and improving processes. That experience strengthened my documentation, collaboration, research, and systems-thinking skills.
