Kristara McAlpine-Taylor

I am offering reduced rates to MSU students, I offer short term, long term and crisis counseling to MSU students. I can work with any students that are Michigan residents and I will do all sessions via teletherapy.

The first step is always the most difficult. It takes courage to recognize the need for help, make the phone call and attend your first appointment. My initial goal of therapy is to establish trust with my patients. I accept them for who they are without judgement or bias, seek to understand them and move at their pace.

I practice with a wide range of psychotherapy modalities and adjust my style and techniques based on your individual need. It is my goal to help you overcome your struggles and flourish. Therapy is not a quick fix, it takes time, effort and determination and I will be there supporting you during your journey.

I provide treatment to those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, eating disorders/obesity, self-esteem struggles, stress, family issues, and spirituality.

I help my patients become aware of past patterns of behavior, thought processes and emotions that will have a lasting impact on the changes they make in their lives. These changes can affect many area’s in life including increased confidence, self-esteem, positive interpersonal relationships, and lasting change.

I am a fully licenced Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience.
