ABOUT ME
Krista McDemus, MS, LPC, NCC (she/her/hers)
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania where I meet with clients virtually and in-person. I have a background in community mental health where I worked with children, teens and families to build healthy coping, process past trauma and improve relationships. I have extended my work to include women of all ages who are seeking ways to improve mood, self-esteem and experience healthier relationships. Every person, young or old, is capable of finding their own path to healing; and I will offer you acceptance, guidance and encouragement to reach your goals.
My approach
As my client, you deserve a custom approach to counseling. I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches to support your healing, such as; Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and encourage the use of mindfulness to build mind-body awareness and achieve goals.
