Kristy Hsu(She/Her/Hers)

Kristy Hsu (she/her) is a Licensed Professional Counselor serving Arlington Heights and the Greater Chicago Area in Illinois. She uses an integrative approach including trauma-informed, mindfulness, EMDR, and more related modalities. Kristy enjoys working with college students and adults seeking balance in work, personal life, and social relationships, including friendships, boundaries, and family dynamics.

She specializes in anxiety/social anxiety, depression, trauma/ complex trauma, and identity issues. She supports clients in exploring their childhood experiences, attachment patterns, and the balance between self and others. With a gentle and encouraging presence, Kristy helps clients reconnect with their authentic selves, cultivate inner growth, and define personal meaning as they move forward in therapy.

As a Registered Art Therapist as well, she has witnessed clients access inner peace and personal insight through art-making or creative writing, allowing feelings and reflections to emerge intuitively and spontaneously. By using art as a second tool, Kristy supports clients in finding their voices, fostering self-understanding, and deeper connections. She’s now accepting virtual, in-person, and mixed sessions and provides a 15-minute free phone consultation. To learn more, click the message button or book a schedule today.
