About Me
Your healing is my passion
Kristen Blessing, LISW-S, LICDC
Taking an individualized, root cause approach to mental health.
Welcome to Healing and Growth!
Hello, I’m Kristen. As an Ohio-licensed LISW-S and LICDC, I bring a high level of clinical oversight and specialized training to my practice. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from The University of Toledo and my Master’s degree from The Ohio State University. Over the years, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome addiction, manage depression and anxiety, heal from trauma through EMDR, and find restoration in their marriages.
But beyond my clinical degrees, my practice is defined by my faith. I firmly believe that mental health and spiritual health go hand-in-hand. Every morning, I spend intentional time in the Word and in prayer, asking God to fill me with His love and light so that I can reflect His grace directly to you.
We are all under construction—He is constantly molding us and transforming our hearts to be more like Him. I view therapy as a collaborative, “iron sharpens iron” relationship. God often brings people together to help navigate the valleys of life, and I believe there is a purpose for you being here. My ultimate prayer for our time together is that you are drawn closer to God, that your thoughts find true peace in His will, and that you walk forward knowing that He loves you and has a good plan for your life.
