Meet Kristie Wyler
Kristie Wyler is a master ‘s-level therapist, a psychologist, and a certified eating disorder specialist. She enjoys working with clients of all ages and has experience with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults throughout the lifespan.
Her approach is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients feel like they can be themselves and are safe to be heard and explore who they really are. She uses a mix of research-based interventions, such as ACT, DBT, FBT, and IFS. However, she primarily works with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which shows there is a relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and adjusting one can shift unhelpful patterns.
