Kristen Durand, LICSW

Welcome! You have taken the first step in seeking therapy and incorporating mental health care into your life.  If you feel exhausted, stressed, anxious and irritable and it's getting in the way of enjoying your life, family and work,  I would love to talk. Life lately is challenging and if you are looking for ways to feel more balanced emotionally, we can work together to find what works for you.

​

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts. I earned my Masters Degree from Simmons College in 2005.  Since then I have worked in a number of settings including inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient settings and home-visit support.  Over the past several years I have taken some time to be with my family, meanwhile reading and studying the importance of a holistic approach to mental health care.   I have learned that you can treat anxiety and depression not only with conventional methods using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and sometimes medication, but also in conjunction with vitamins and supplements, changes in your diet as well as incorporating daily movement into your life. I recently became a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP). I am ready to meet you at whatever stage you are in your quest to accept your emotions without judgement and live a more deliberate and mindful life. If you are looking to start making some changes to your diet or lifestyle habits in order to improve your mood, I would be happy to support and guide you. Further, if you are looking to start healthier habits in your life and need help setting boundaries to do so, I am here to help.
