     Hi there! I’m Kristina Anne Platt, a current Master’s student at NC State in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I have an eclectic background that led me to mental health counseling, including a foundation in biology, early childhood through adolescent development, family and home dynamics, and education. These experiences along with my own mental health journey led me here to be in a position where I can be the person I needed and saw the need for in my community. 
     It is my fullest belief that the therapy process and its effectiveness hinges on the client-counselor relationship. My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to explore the obstacles, stressors, and unknowns that they may face in their life. Starting this journey can be uncomfortable, whether it’s your first time in therapy or starting with a new therapist. So, to make our time together as effective and supportive as possible, I encourage open lines of communication and ongoing feedback to help you feel in control of your mental health journey.
