Krystle Briese

I am certified in Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor

I work with children, teens, and their parents to help them with some of life's more difficult times. This includes the every day trials of growing up, as well as mental health struggles, peer relationships, divorce, death, and more. I enjoy helping kids become assertive, empathetic, and independent humans. I expect to parents to be a big part of treatment, to work as a team to help their child. This includes getting regular updates from parents, as well as meeting with them every few sessions to discuss progress and concerns.

Therapy with me looks like: For starters - that the child wants to be there. I chose play therapy as my specialty because children will more likely be engaged in the process of therapy if they have a means of building a relationship with the therapist, besides talking. I take the child-centered approach, letting them lead and helping them find their own way. I make suggestions on potential methods of approaching situations or point out what could have caused a negative reaction, but do not tell them that they were/are right or wrong for their choices.
Fun fact: I am a former elementary school teacher.
My favorite hobbies: I enjoy spending time outdoors and being with my own children. I enjoy hiking and camping or even just going to the zoo. I am a Girl Scout troop leader and enjoy working with the troop on new adventures.
