As a licensed therapist in NJ and PA, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful strategies for personal growth. I have extensive experience supporting people through challenges related to stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, addiction, and life transitions.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to cultivate self-love and discover their unique life purpose. I believe that every individual has inherent strengths and the capacity to create positive change. By creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space, I support clients in exploring their inner experiences, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and building greater emotional well-being.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I collaborate with clients to develop personalized approaches that honor their individual journeys. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, support, and genuine care as you move toward healing and personal transformation.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Kristen is very attentive and follows up.
Kristen has been very supportive. She is a great listener and provides relevant guidance.
I am two sessions in and already feel like I am being given tools that I can actually affect real change with. I’ve seen other therapists in the past, but this is the first time I really feel listened to and like I’m being given actionable steps to improve. It is going to be a long road, I have A LOT to work through, but I feel hopeful that I can get to where I’m looking to be mentally, which is a nice feeling. Highly recommend Better Help and Kristen Hamill.
Helpful, listens to my concerns and thoughts, provides input and asks questions for me to clarify and to hear myself, my intentions, and cultivate a sense of self-awareness. Discusses processing and provides ways to mitigate and address root issues. Kristen is wonderful to work with and I’ve found a deeper sense of myself and peace within my situation.
