meet krista garland LCSW
A little about me.
✦ I'm a psychodynamic, trauma & infidelity therapist, and owner of Kind Mind Solutions. My license number is SW23494.
✦ I have an (almost 4-year-old) daughter who has CEO energy and the heart of a lion.
✦ I'm an allergic-to-dogs dog mom. I'm hugging Maggie in this picture, who's thankfully hypoallergenic. She may pop in to say hello from time to time, especially by client request, and has quickly become a client favorite. I try not to be jealous.
✦ I'm a coffee devotee, prefer experiences over things, and the first to admit that I'm not perfect.
✦ I've always been passionate about helping others, but my experience with trauma and grief during my own pregnancy and the time that followed deepened that passion for helping parents.
✦ I see a therapist too! I've committed to my own healing journey, and see it as part of my self-care. I also think it's an extremely important part of meeting my clients where they are, as I'm familiar with pain and healing from both sides of the couch.
my style as a therapist
My space is relaxed, with a down-to-earth and direct approach
If you're looking for a therapist who will suggest lots of tools, handouts, and homework, I'm probably not the right therapist for you.
If things were that simple, you probably would've already solved whatever it is you're going through yourself. Because you're capable. You've been figuring things out, pushing through, and doing what you needed to do for a long time.
Plus, the reason you're here is probably less about a problem you can solve, and more about a difficult reality that requires a deeper kind of healing.
I'm more process-oriented.
My approach isn't about telling you what you need to do. It's about meeting you where you are, as an authentic human being, and as someone in your corner who is genuinely rooting for you.
As a psychodynamic therapist, I'm here to help you understand yourself more deeply, explore the patterns shaping your life, and take charge of your future by making choices that align with who you are and who you're becoming.
Therapy with me is a space to sit with the hard things, realize you're not alone, and find your way forward.
