About Kristin
Kristin Taman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Kristin invites clients to begin honest conversations about thoughts and feelings in a calm, nonjudgmental space.
She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from Wake Forest University and has five years of professional experience. Kristin uses a mix of directive and non-directive techniques to meet each person where they are. That means she may offer specific strategies at times and listen and reflect at others.
Sessions often include noticing automatic negative thoughts and gently challenging them together. Kristin draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to name patterns and on acceptance-focused methods to change how people relate to difficult emotions. She also incorporates skills from dialectical approaches and motivational interviewing when helpful.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family stress, grief, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Kristin aims to help people find clearer thinking, steadier mood, and a greater sense of agency in daily life.
Therapy with Kristin moves at a practical pace. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and building small, doable steps toward those goals. She encourages clients to notice progress, adjust goals, and use tools that fit their everyday routines.
