Kristen Hagin, LMHC, LIMHP

Kristen Hagin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Her approach is adaptable to what each person needs in the moment. Kristen holds a master's degree from Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska, and she is licensed in both Washington and Nebraska as an LMHC and LIMHP. She has 17 years of experience working in community behavioral health, youth-focused services, and in a primary care setting. That range gives her experience with short-term goals and longer-term patterns. Her work often uses Motivational Interviewing and client-centered methods to help people find their own reasons and strengths for change. She also draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to build concrete skills for managing mood, stress, and difficult thoughts. Sessions can include skill teaching, problem solving, and emotional processing depending on the person's needs. Some people come simply wanting an emotional outlet; Kristen makes space for listening as well as for active skill building. She emphasizes resilience, improving relationships, and realistic steps toward healthier routines. Her schedule includes morning, daytime, and some evening hours. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and times when they begin the intake process.
