Therapists
"I'm not sure if resilience is ever achieved alone. Experience allows us to learn from example. But if we have someone who loves us—I don't mean who indulges us, but who loves us enough to be on our side—then it's easier to grow resilience, to grow belief in self, to grow self-esteem. And it's self-esteem that allows a person to stand up."

As a therapist, there is nothing more fulfilling than sitting with another person who is, with courage, unraveling their life story while simultaneously putting the pieces back together into one unified and healed picture. I don’t take my role as therapist lightly. I’m mindful of the vulnerability that is required to engage in the process of therapy—to open up your heart and trust someone with all the pieces, that often times haven’t been cared for properly, takes an amount of bravery that I hold much respect and regard for. Life isn’t easy. One of my favorite quotes is, “Be kind, for everyone you meet if fighting some great battle.” Unfortunately, there aren’t many places to turn to fully reveal all that is going on inside. I find it a great honor to hear matters of the heart that are often kept in seclusion. Our suffering needs to be spoken, felt, and understood in order to be healed. I enjoy working with individuals who are longing for more…more security in self, more peace, more life. This ‘more’ often times only blossoms when we are willing to pause, look inside; and with openness, reflect on our lives in a meaningful way.
I work with a trauma-informed lens. What this means is that I understand that many wounds originate from relational pain that has left profound marks on the heart and mind. These marks often impair how we see the world, ourselves, and our relationships. With gentleness, loving-kindness, and truth, we’ll mend the injured places so that you can see yourself and the world around you more clearly. Therapy is a process of becoming, a process that unfolds you into wholeness, into “the person you were before the world told you who you should be.” I’d love to join you, right where you are.

We are like trees…I’ve heard that if you analyze the rings of a tree, you can not only tell it’s age, but also it’s growth pattern and the weather or growth conditions throughout it’s life. I believe the same is true for humans…when we look at our internal world (thoughts, feelings, beliefs…) we can assess growth patterns of the psyche and the effects of relationships and life circumstances around us. A tree that endured a drought would look differently than a tree that has not. And that’s that for the tree. But as human beings, we have the ability to look back on points in our life where we didn’t have ideal growth conditions and bring compassion, healing, and strength to those places. Together we can identify life patterns, ways of thinking, things that you’ve absorbed, and provide an opportunity to heal and strengthen those places within you.
I enjoy working with people who feel there’s a need for a shift in their life and they’re ready to go towards it. Whether it’s to change how you feel inside, dynamics in a relationship or marriage, your career, your perspective...doing the work together, you’ll find I’m like a lighthouse as you embark onto uncharted waters.
Following graduation from Vanguard University, I’ve spent time in various settings with a wide range of populations, and completed an EFT training for couples. I now have happily found my way into private practice where I enjoy doing long term therapy and walking along side clients through various seasons of their life.

Hi! I’m Kristy Fowler and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been practicing since 2012, and have worked with children, youth, and families in various counseling, mentoring, and education roles. Some of the topics I have taught on and work with include: cultural identity, life transitions, communication, family dynamics, divorce, grief, trauma, disabilities, anxiety, and depression.
I understand that finding a good therapist can be intimidating and exhausting. I am glad that you are here and brave enough to start this process. I care deeply for my clients and love getting to know them as they share about their various backgrounds, challenges, and life experiences. It is my desire to create a safe environment that is supportive and goes at a pace that feels comfortable to each individual.
I create an environment that fosters insight and awareness. It is my goal to help you find your inner strength and live your most authentic and meaningful life.
