Kristen Campbell, LPC

Kristen received her MS in Counseling at West Texas A&M University, but she first began her career in education. As a school counselor, she witnessed how deeply trauma and chronic stress affect people, not only in childhood, but well into adulthood. The children she worked with did not simply “grow out of” their experiences; they carried them into their relationships, their nervous systems, and the ways they learned to survive the world. That understanding continues to shape her approach to therapy today. As Frederick Douglass noted, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” While early experiences cannot always be changed, healing and growth remain possible at any stage of life.

She works with individuals and families navigating high-conflict divorces, toxic or abusive relationships, co-parenting stress, and abuse recovery. She also supports clients through major life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the emotional exhaustion that often comes from prolonged stress. She is working to complete Parent Coordinator training along with child custody and adoption evaluations training.

Many of the clients she works with were never taught how to safely express emotions, communicate their needs, or set healthy boundaries, instead learning to shut down, over-explain, or remain in unhealthy dynamics in order to keep the peace. Her work is grounded in trauma recovery that is practical, compassionate, and human. Therapy is not about assigning blame to the past, but about understanding how it continues to show up in the present and learning new, healthier ways to respond.

She offers a supportive and honest space to build skills in emotional regulation, communication, and boundary-setting, while helping clients restore a sense of safety, confidence, and connection to themselves and the lives they are working to create.
