I am a trauma informed therapist, here to help you. I work with teens and adults who are dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, shame, guilt, self-doubt, substance use, and painful relationship patterns. Many of the people I support feel stuck in survival mode. They may be having nightmares, flashbacks, anger outbursts, self-harm, low self-worth, codependent patterns, or the constant feeling that they are doing everything wrong. Some are trying to heal after domestic violence, sexual abuse, addiction, or other painful experiences that changed how safe life feels. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and more able to imagine what comes next.

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


In 1986, my journey in the field of human services began, fueled by a lifelong passion for helping others. Majoring in the Human Services concentration at high school laid the groundwork for my unwavering commitment to this mission.

Upon earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Science with a counseling specialty, my formal training commenced in 2002. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience and expertise, working in diverse settings. Anxiety, stress, worry, uncertainty, addictions and fear don't have to define your life. With over 16 years of clinical experience, I help individuals, couples, and families identify the beliefs, thought patterns, and automatic behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.

Krystal Pfeiffer

Krystal Pfeiffer

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.

I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.

What therapy with me feels like:

Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold

A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet

Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it

Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable
