Licensed Professional Counselor

Hi! I’m Kristin Cookson, a clinician at our Charleston clinic. I hold a Master’s in Counseling with training in both school and mental health counseling. I work with children, teens, and adults on a wide range of issues—from addiction and anxiety to many challenges in between.

A central focus of my work is trauma-informed care. I support clients in creating safety, building resilience, and developing strategies to process and heal from difficult experiences. My approach combines evidence-based therapeutic practices with creativity and flexibility, tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs.

Therapy with me is collaborative. Your voice matters every step of the way. We’ll set goals that feel meaningful to you, and I’ll support you with tools, insights, and encouragement. At its heart, therapy with me is about connection, growth, and building resilience. Whatever you’re carrying, we’ll face it together, with honesty, compassion, and hope.

Outside of my professional life, I’m a passionate gamer. Whether it’s pen-and-paper campaigns, board games around the table, or diving into console adventures, gaming is one of my favorite ways to connect, recharge, and explore new worlds. At the heart of everything I do, both in counseling and in play, is a deep belief in resilience, growth, and the power of human connection.
