Staff Profile
Services Offered:
Dieruf, Kristin
Title: Psychotherapist
Location:
New Brighton
Credentials: MA, LMFT
Department: Outpatient
Education: St. Mary's University, MA, University of Minnesota, BS
Clinical Approach:
I draw from a variety of clinical models including experiential, structural, strategic, and solution focused therapy. I approach each session with a client-centered viewpoint, and I meet the client exactly where they are at. I believe the therapeutic process is a journey of truth that moves one towards healing. As a therapist it is my honor to be a witness to that journey and to offer compassion, direction, support, validation, education, and confirmation along the way.
