Kristin Discepolo, LCPC, is a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, grief, chronic illness, and life transitions. She takes a holistic, client-centered approach to care—drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, trauma-informed care, and somatic techniques. Kristin tailors each treatment plan to the unique needs of her clients, helping them build resilience, improve emotional wellness, and heal from deeply rooted pain.
Kristin’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. She creates a supportive space where clients feel empowered to move at their own pace while working toward meaningful change. Kristin is especially passionate about supporting women, veterans, trauma survivors, and individuals navigating chronic medical conditions or fertility-related challenges. Outside the therapy room, she enjoys spending time outdoors, walking or biking, and connecting with animals.
