Kristina McManamen

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Associate. I received my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California with a concentration in Adult Mental Health and Wellness. I did my clinical internship conducting individual and group therapy at Community Psychiatric Clinic, and I facilitated group therapy at Cascade Behavioral Health Hospital.

My specialization is to work with adults in individual therapy to address experiences of depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am curious about the impact of trauma and difficult childhood experiences on present day self-regulation, relationship patterns, and parenting.

I utilize a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Behavioral Activation Therapy, somatic exploration, and psychoeducation. I aim to provide a safe space to explore the impact of past experiences while building healthier self-care tools and relationships.

I would love to hear about your story, your strengths, and what you're looking to work on.

I unwind by exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I enjoy running, camping, and hiking. I am often either chasing after my two children, gardening with my husband, or listening to a memoir.
