Greetings!
My name is Kristi Myricks, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Alabama with over 30 years of experience in the helping field. I have made a personal commitment to help others.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, geriatric clients, outpatient, in the home all with a wide range of life challenges. My life challenging experience also include stress management, anger issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, relationship problems, parenting, acute and long term mental illness. My experience has lead me to various settings, such as agency, private practice, on-line, and hospital settings.
While I believe my theoretical orientation is integrative, much of my work is based off of utilizing practices and principles from CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I am warm, compassionate, and understand the importance of creating a strong therapeutic alliance with clients
My goal is to develop a therapeutic alliance, instilling hope, providing empathy, genuineness, acceptance, I have strong interpersonal communication skills and the ability to evoke positive responses, and open mindedness for you. My ultimate goal is to help you understand yourself and your purpose by living your life to the fullest.
It is always a privilege and honor to have others allow you into their lives.
