Hi. I'm Kristen Lund. I have over 28 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, families and groups. I am also the owner of The Art of Validation and Change, LLC. As a person many people find me genuine, humorous and warm. As a therapist many clients find me direct, challenging, compassionate, intuitive and respectful. I enjoy working with male and female adults of many different orientations, races and cultures. If I am full, I have many wonderful therapists on my team that can see you! Check out my website to meet them. www.kristenlund.com They can see clients as young as 6 and as old as 100 years.
I enjoy helping people identify, process and gain insight into both conscious and unconscious issues. I also find it critical to teach them invaluable emotional skills, so they can have a sense of control over their moods. In addition, I coach people I work with into creating a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, otherwise known as DBT. I am intensively trained and have been Certified by the State of MN.DHS in DBT. I am also, trained in A.R.T. for trauma issues. Please see my website for more information; www.kristenlund.com I
