KrystiAna Disbrow, LCSW

Therapist

I have been a social worker for over a decade, and my work has consistently centered on supporting women and families through complex emotional seasons. Becoming a parent reshaped my life in both expected and unexpected ways; deepening my understanding of how profoundly identity, relationships, and emotional well-being can shift during this time. Reaching out for support is a meaningful step, and therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of change, and feel less alone as you navigate fertility, pregnancy, early parenthood, and beyond.

I offer trauma-informed care and specialize in anxiety in its many forms, including postpartum anxiety, health anxiety, racing thoughts, and the feeling of never being able to quiet your mind. A significant part of my work involves helping parents navigate postpartum mood challenges, including postpartum rage, with compassion and practical tools for understanding triggers, increasing regulation, and restoring a sense of calm. I offer validation  to parents through the emotional intensity and rapid transitions of the toddler years. 

While pregnancy, parenting, and fertility are central areas of my work, I recognize that clients are also navigating many other parts of being human. I support adult children of individuals impacted by substance use, including those working through complicated family dynamics, grief, or estrangement. I also work with highly capable individuals who have spent years holding things together in stressful or high-demand environments and who struggle with anxiety, burnout, or a sense that their worth is tied to productivity.

I use a combination of therapeutic techniques tailored to each client as each person’s experience is unique: Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Strengths-Based Perspective, Family Systems Theory, Mindfulness, Stress Management, Breath Work, and Self-Compassion.

If any of this resonates with you, let’s talk.
