Kristen McCormick, LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor in Portland, Oregon. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families and have been providing mental health counseling for 13 years in various settings including community-based, residential, therapeutic foster care, outpatient, and research-based outpatient. I use a mixture of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and relational/humanistic approaches with my clients. I strive to be flexible and collaborative with my clients. I am a passionate advocate for my clients and hope to support them in reaching desired goals in their lives. In my free time, I try to be as active as possible. I enjoy spending time outside in the Pacific Northwest. You might find me on a paddle board, hiking with my lab mix, or hanging out with my little one in a park. I practice martial arts and yoga as well. I love to incorporate mindfulness components in my practice and often look at holistic approaches to treatment. I try to be conscious of my own bias and privilege when aligning with my clients. I consider myself to be a LGBTQ+ and BIPOC ally.
