Kristi Check, LPC

Welcome to BrightSpire Health, Kristi!!! Kristi is accepting new clients, 18yo+. Specialties include, Anxiety/Panic Attacks, ADHD, Stress Management, Parenting Issues, Women's Issues, LGBTQ+, Transgender Issues, OCD, Stage of Life Adjustments.

I received my MA in Applied Psychological Science from Pacific University in 2021. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the Oregon Board. I have worked in the mental health field for 9 years in various capacities including as a skills trainer, case manager, and psychiatric technician on a subacute unit. This experience includes helping with housing and low-income resources, implementing/learning coping skills, and implementing various life skills clients struggle with.

With a warm and empathetic approach, my theoretical orientation involves utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and some Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I believe that people do well if they can, and work to assist clients in identifying what barriers may be getting in the way and how to overcome them. I provide tools to aid in recognition of barriers, help clients to learn boundary setting, self-compassion, and to provide information on and implementation of self-care, coping skills, and mindfulness. I strongly believe that goals of treatment should be collaboratively established with clients.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog, I enjoy the outdoors, reading, art, baking, tabletop games, and most nerdy subjects.
