Kristen E. Shoemaker is a counselor with over 19 years of experience. She has found that often, as individuals reflect on the journey of their lives, it seems as if the story they are living, is not the story they had hoped to find themselves in. Heartache from the past, and even anxiety promoted by an uncertain future can serve to distort one's view of oneself and the unfolding story. Watching God use brokenness to move people toward redemption is one of my greatest privileges as a therapist. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples. I help those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/abuse related concerns, eating disorders, relationship issues, parenting, and spiritual issues to name only a few. I also have over 10 years of experience working with adolescents and families through the ministry of Young Life. My approach one from a bio/psycho/social and spiritual model. I believe that this comprehensive approach serves to benefit the whole client, focusing on the true problem and not simply the symptoms of the problem.
