Welcome to Anchored Soul H2O
Therapy is a place to slow down, gain perspective, and create meaningful change.
I work with individuals and couples who are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, emotional difficulties, recovery, and patterns that may be keeping them stuck.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and relational. Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, develop greater self-understanding, and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and the people who matter most.
Couples Therapy
Support for couples who want to improve communication, understand recurring patterns, rebuild connection, and create a healthier relationship.
Individual Therapy
A supportive space to explore anxiety, life transitions, relationship patterns, self-esteem, emotional challenges, recovery, and personal growth.
EMDR & Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR, for clients who are working through difficult experiences that continue to affect their emotional well-being and relationships.
Recovery & Addiction Counseling
With extensive experience in addiction counseling and recovery, I offer a depth of understanding for individuals navigating substance use, recovery, and the impact addiction can have on individuals and relationships.
My Approach
I believe therapy works best when it is both compassionate and practical. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work collaboratively with clients to understand the patterns, experiences, beliefs, and relationships that shape the way they move through life.
My approach draws from evidence-based and relational therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based approaches, mindfulness, EMDR, Gottman, and Relational Life Therapy-informed work.
I tailor therapy to each person's needs, because there is no single approach that works for everyone.
About Kristin Colton
I bring nearly three decades of experience in addiction counseling and recovery, along with graduate training in counseling psychology and clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families.
My work as a therapist is grounded in the belief that people can change, heal, and develop healthier ways of relating—even when they have been caught in difficult patterns for a long time.
I bring compassion, curiosity, honesty, and a practical approach to therapy. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard while also helping you develop the insight and tools needed to create meaningful change.
