Kristen Balan, LMFT, PMH-C

Mom, daughter, aunt, sister, friend, colleague with 15 plus years practicing as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in numerous capacities including crisis therapy, school based therapy, outpatient and private practice settings with couples, children and adults. I am also a Certified Perinatal Mental Health counselor through Postpartum Support International. As an individual who has struggled with lifelong anxiety and OCD in addition to perinatal mental health issues, I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples and families as they navigate relationships and other life challenges and transitions.

I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Marian University, Indianapolis, IN and my masters of science in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester, NY.

I enjoy spending my free time with my three busy children, my significant other and our dog, Trixie. I’m often planning my next weekend getaway.

 FAQs

  • I currently accept self pay only via credit/debit/hsa/fsa card, using a secure, hipaa compliant platform. That means, I do not bill through insurance companies. However, I’m happy to supply you, upon request, with a statement of services rendered that you may attempt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please contact your insurer directly regarding your coverage.

  • I understand that it is not possible for many parents to schedule child care for therapy sessions. Some circumstances might necessitate parent only and will be discussed as needed.

  • That is case dependent. I’m happy to work short or long term depending on what my clients need. I’m able to conduct single session consultations as well as provide ongoing therapy for an extended period of time. Therapy is not one size fits all. I’m happy to discuss your personal needs.

  • At this time, I offer only virtual therapy sessions.
