Professional statement

Kristen El Khattabi is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) licensed in Florida and Massachusetts. She is an experienced clinical leader with over 20 years in the mental health field and more than a decade managing clinical teams. Since 2020, she has led clinical operations at Trust Therapeutics, overseeing clinicians and supervisors to ensure quality care, professional development, and operational compliance. Kristen has played a key role in building scalable systems for 24/7 crisis support and clinical supervision, supporting Trust’s expansion into the UK and beyond.

Trained in Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Kristen tailors her approach to meet each individual’s needs. She believes clients hold the answers to their own challenges and sees the therapist’s role as a curious and supportive guide. Kristen is also passionate about mentoring emerging clinicians and fostering compassionate, effective care across the organization.


Message to clients

Reaching out for therapy isn’t always easy, and it takes courage to even look for support. My hope is that from our first meeting, you feel welcomed exactly as you are, without pressure, without judgment, and with a sense that you don’t have to hold everything alone.

Many people come to therapy carrying stress, grief, relationship struggles, or a quiet feeling that something in life just isn’t working anymore. Whatever you’re navigating, I’m here to listen deeply and help you make sense of your experiences. Together, we’ll build a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions safely, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and fulfilling.
