Get to know me
Feeling emotionally safe and deeply understood isn't a nice-to-have in therapy, it's the ground the whole thing stands on. I'm Krista Hendrickson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, and families across Washington state entirely by telehealth.
I draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy, an approach built around the emotional bond between partners rather than just their arguments, Attachment-Based Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Bowen Family Systems Theory, to work with reconnection after distance or hurt, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Change happens as we learn more about ourselves, why we do what we do, and discover new ways of being in our relationships, not through advice so much as through actually understanding the pattern well enough to interrupt it.
Couples and individuals anywhere in Washington work with me by telehealth for EFT and Gottman-trained care, especially when getting to an in-person office isn't realistic for their schedule or location.
If this sounds like your kind of fit, the intake form gets us started, and a question first is never a bother. If you'd rather ask a question first, that's a fine way to start too, not every first contact needs to be a full booking. Sessions run 53 minutes entirely by telehealth, so we can meet consistently regardless of where in Washington state you're located, which matters most when the work is about steady reconnection over time rather than a single breakthrough conversation.
Change happens as we start to understand why we do what we do.
