My name is Kristi Petrak, and I love Pittsburgh. I am passionate about connecting with people and giving them space to connect with what makes them passionate and able to thrive. I see the client as an expert who is essentially looking for validation and perhaps a few tips I’ve picked up in my career. I have been in this field for 14 years and have worked with children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked with couples as well and would love to do more work with couples. Most of my experience is with people diagnosed with anxiety, depression, those who have experienced trauma and struggle with self-injury and/or suicide, and I also have experience with those who have autism and OCD. I am eager to meet people where they are and to encourage them to identify what they need so they can get their needs met.
