Hi! Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by your emotions, wondering “why did I do that?” after an impulsive action or harmful behavior? If managing your emotions and building a fulfilling life feels like a constant struggle, I’m here to help. I specialize in working with individuals who are ready to tackle these challenging patterns in a non-judgmental, structured, and even fun environment.
I do my best work with adults and teens who experience significant emotional and behavioral dysregulation. Together, we will explore the functions of your behaviors and replace harmful actions with effective skills, helping you manage emotions more effectively.
My unique and flexible work history has equipped me with diverse skills to support a variety of clients. From providing therapy in typical office settings to offering support in homeless camps and de-escalating high-stress situations, I bring a versatile approach to therapy. I am dedicated to helping you decrease distress and build a life worth living.
I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and have been providing comprehensive DBT for several years. I am currently working towards becoming Formally DBT Certified with the DBT-LBC and have been formally trained in both DBT and EMDR.
When I’m not working with clients, you can find me playing and watching hockey, paddleboarding, attending concerts, and spending time with my three dogs. I also strive to accumulate positive experiences and live a life that allows me to implement DBT skills personally.
Connect with me today to start your journey toward managing emotions and building a fulfilling life.

Meet Kelsey
Hello! Are you seeking help to manage your trauma, depression, or anxiety? Or are you struggling to navigate big life changes such as divorce, marriage, having a child, faith crisis, LGBTQIA+ exploration, or addiction? I’m here to support you in learning emotional intelligence and mental wellness skills, to help you through your big transitions, and to help you rediscover your purpose, values, and motivation to create the life you love.
I have a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boise State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Marriage and Family Studies. I specialize in trauma, depression, and anxiety, using my extensive experience in educational and family service settings to provide compassionate and effective support for children, teens, and families. I work closely with parents and adults, helping them navigate the challenges of adulting and parenting while managing their anxiety. My diverse background enables me to effectively support individuals and families as a whole.
The tools that I pull from to customize care for each client are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), strength-based therapy, and mindfulness.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children. I am a music enthusiast and enjoy various genres. I play the piano and flute, and I am learning how to play classical guitar. I can be found often with my nose in a good book (Harry Potter is my favorite). I am a card and board game champion, which is one of my family’s favorite pastimes.
Reach out if you are seeking resources to navigate life at a more elevated level, and I would be honored to start this journey with you.
Krista Duarte, LCSW (she/her)
My Specialties: Trauma, EMDR, Dissociation, Ego State or Parts work, and Women’s Issues
Meet Krista
Krista is not accepting new clients at time.
I engage with clients from a strength based lens and I seek to identify and utilize strategies to meet client’s needs outside of traditional talk therapy. I use a wide variety of clinical modalities such as EMDR Therapy, Ego State Therapy, Somatic Practices, Relational Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy.
I graduated from the University of Utah with a master’s of social work, with an emphasis in forensics social work. My work history and experience with women, young adults, and teens, in addition to trauma, sexual assault, and domestic violence, have prepared me to best support clients from a trauma and relational informed lens to provide safety, connection and trust with clients.
When I am not working I am likely spending time with my spouse and son, visiting Disneyland, attending Jazz games, or reading a good book that I can get lost in.
Reach out if you are seeking to heal, tap into your inner world to get to know yourself on a deeper level, and open to learning new strategies and engage in concepts that may be outside of traditional talk therapy.

These methods are particularly effective for clients who have experienced trauma and are seeking to rebuild their lives.
