You don’t have to carry hard things alone.

Kristen works with adolescents, college students, and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in relationship patterns, grieving, or carrying unresolved trauma. Her approach is compassionate and relational, creating space for clients to slow down, process, and build healthier ways of coping.

She is located in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and also offers virtual sessions.

Kristen currently accepts QualChoice, Municipal, and Ambetter insurances. Out-of-network billing support and self-pay options are available.

If you’ve been considering therapy, this could be a good place to start.

Finding the right therapist matters.

Not every therapist is the right fit- and that’s okay. What matters is feeling safe, understood, and supported in a space that meets you where you are.

At Aligned Living Counseling, we work with adolescents, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship patterns, and major life transitions. Each clinician brings a thoughtful, compassionate approach so you can find support that feels aligned with you.

If you’ve been considering therapy, this might be a good place to start.

Around this time of year, it’s easy to measure yourself against milestones, numbers, and versions of success that don’t tell the full story, and to feel the subtle pressure to keep achieving and keep moving.

I hope this is your reminder to pause and really see how much you’ve grown, the ways you’ve healed, the impact your light has had on the people around you, and the courage you’ve shown through the highs and the lows. And I hope you feel so proud of yourself✨

(share with a friend who needs these reminders too).

🩷,
Emily Starr, Founder

The holidays can be a lot- emotionally, mentally, and physically.
If you’re navigating grief, change, or family stress, you’re not alone.
These slides share ways to stay grounded and supported through it all.

Take what helps, leave what doesn’t, and be gentle with yourself this season. 🤎

Today and every day, we honor those who have served. Veterans often carry invisible wounds long after their service ends, and mental health support can make all the difference.

If you’re a veteran or know one who’s struggling, reach out. You don’t have to face it alone- help and healing are here at Aligned Living Counseling. 💙
