Kristi Heritage , LPC

Kristi Heritage is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma, crisis response, and substance use while also treating a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, grief, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with survivors of domestic and sexual violence and other abuse, and she supports people coping with life changes, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and blended family issues.

Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and respectful. She uses a person-centered stance that emphasizes empathy and collaboration, combines cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to address thinking and behavior patterns, and incorporates solution-focused strategies to create practical steps forward. Kristi is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma-focused method she has used to help people process distressing memories. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s unique needs and goals.

Kristi aims to be responsive and flexible with scheduling and message replies, often accommodating daytime appointment times when available. Currently she is not accepting new clients. She welcomes individuals who are ready to pursue change and offers supportive, empowering guidance throughout the therapeutic process.
