More About Kristen Mahannah
Clinical Interests:
Primarily I work with individuals struggling with their mental wellness. I have worked with teens, adults, couples and families and have occasionally worked with children. I love working with persons struggling with mood disorders, stress, career stressors and particularly like working with couples who are struggling with communication barriers.
Clinical Approach:
I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. I am a person-centered therapist using acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I am an EMDR trained therapist through EMDRIA and love to use EMDR to help clients work through trauma and manage stressors throughout their lives.
Hobbies:
I love music! I like to play the guitar, flute and sing at the piano. I am a part of the Iowa City Alumnae chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota where we meet once a month. “The Mission of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity is to encourage, nurture and support the art of music.”
