Professional statement
Kristen Bruno is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHC-A) at Healing Rhode Clinical Services, LLC. She enjoys working with individuals navigating challenges related to relationships, anxiety, and depression. Kristen’s goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences and working toward meaningful change.
She believes therapy is a collaborative process and strives to work alongside her clients to identify and move toward their personal goals. Kristen also has training in incorporating art therapy into sessions, which can help foster a more relaxed and less anxious environment. No artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to explore.
By integrating creative expression with traditional talk therapy, Kristen helps clients engage in deeper self-exploration while making the therapeutic process feel approachable and personalized. She is committed to supporting clients as they begin their journey toward healing and growth.
