Kristen Beeck, M.A., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor providing compassionate, individualized therapy for children, preteens, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, ADHD and learning challenges, autism, depression, life transitions, and other concerns.
About Kristen
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, especially when you are unsure where to begin. My goal is to create a supportive, welcoming environment where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Whether you are working through a specific challenge, navigating a difficult transition, or looking for greater personal growth, I meet you where you are and work alongside you to develop greater self-understanding, balance, resilience, and confidence.
My approach is personalized to each client and their individual needs. I draw from therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Play Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. My goal is to help clients explore their experiences, understand their emotions, develop effective coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.
I earned my degree from Bradley University in 2021 and am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Working With Children, Teens, and Families
I have a particular interest in creating a supportive therapeutic environment where younger clients can feel comfortable expressing themselves and developing the skills they need to navigate challenges.
For children and adolescents, therapy may provide an opportunity to better understand emotions, strengthen coping skills, build confidence, and work through challenges related to anxiety, ADHD, learning differences, autism, relationships, or major life changes.
Family involvement may also be incorporated when appropriate to support communication, understanding, and positive change beyond the therapy setting.
A Warm and Compassionate Approach
I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their emotions without judgment. I believe that compassion and connection are important parts of the healing process and that therapy should be a place where clients feel both supported and empowered.
Outside of my professional work, I am an avid animal lover, particularly fond of dogs and cats. My love of animals reflects the compassion and connection I bring to my work with clients.
