Krista Niles, LCSW

Krista is an awesome therapist. I really appreciate her friendly, kind approach and feel lucky to have found her. She knows a lot about how to work with various issues and has helped me feel a lot better. Her office is really easy to get to and it’s great to get Peet’s or a slice of pizza after a session. You will be lucky to have as great of a therapist as Krista.

KIRSTA KRISTA KRISTA!!! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! After dealing with so much stress with my personal and work life, I been to a few places but they don’t really seem to care. From the time I walked into Krista’s office it was like we are long lost friends seeing each other again! She was so nice, genuine, compassionate, patience, and so helpful in every way possible!!! I would highly recommend Krista over anyone! If just in case you don’t believe me, you should go yourself and see.

I saw Krista for over a year during a time when I had little family support and was dealing with a family member problem, an illness of my own and some spiritual issues. She was wonderful; caring, careful about not making judgements and she validated what I told her. She also helped me realize that there might be some mental illness going on with family members and taught me coping skills and about how to recognize symptoms. This has been one of the most helpful tools that I use in my life. I’m a sensitive person and never had the skills to protect myself from the unkindnesses of others. She gave me some skills to do that and validated my need to take a time out from my family and just do the healing that I have needed for so long. You are a star, Krista!
She also knows alot about addiction, the court system and underage youth. And the really cool thing is that when I couldn’t come out because of an injury, she was willing to come to my house.
Krista,
You are a wonder, my dear friend.
All my love,
VR

Krista recently has helped me to develop some strategies to manage a difficult situation. She’s professional, pragmatic, and down to earth, which is awesome! Even better, she’s concerned about using evidence-​based practices, which is important to me. I’d definitely recommend working with her.

I found Krista during my search for a therapist. I’m beyond thankful I did. If you are even questioning — for whatever reason — if therapy (and Krista!) could benefit you, take advantage of the 30 minute phone consultation.
I was very apprehensive first seeing Krista. I recognized I needed help dealing with depression that developed from some drastic mid-​twenties life changes, but was underwhelmed from the experiences I had with other therapists. Krista was very upfront from the beginning about everything, especially the path we were going to take, and the work that would be involved. I liked and valued that there was always an end game in sight. Krista administers tough love and reality checks when necessary, but is also genuinely enthusiastic over improvements.
I would be supremely confident recommending Krista to individuals, couples or families based on my work with her.

As a colleague I recommend Krista enthusiastically and without reservations.
Working alongside her to provide mental and behavioral health support to families in crisis, I’ve known her to be:
— a strong advocate for her clients
— consistently professional
— a genuine and motivating coach
— absolutely one of the most validating people I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
Furthermore, she invests time and money into her continuing education and is committed to providing effective care and support to the people she serves.

Krista is a smart, experienced and effective therapist. I feel very comfortable around her because of her quick smile and reflective responses. It’s clear she listens with both compassion and soulfulness. I would especially recommend Krista for her work with couples. She helps the couple feel safe enough to explore difficult issues as well as learn practical skills so they can reconnect, break bad habits and get back on track.

I called Krista because I was worried I may have a certain kind of emotional problem. Together we ruled out various things and centered on one and a healing path that made almost instantaneous results. She’s sensitive but frank, strong but gentle and is comfortably interactive, meaning she doesn’t just sit there and listen and ask only a few probing questions, she listens and guides, and sometimes we laugh even in seemingly dire moments. I’ve been in good hands since day one. While I do the work, of course, I feel I have a partner on whom to rely through the process. For us, it’s been a journey of healing, awakening and transformation, and still is a work in progress. In a couple of short months we’ve waded through some very thick stuff all combined with a practical application to my life and the one I want to lead from relationships to career… So far, we’ve been very productive together. I recommend her highly. Five stars all the way.

Hi everyone,
Hope you all having a great day. I just wanna write a few to let people know about my amazing experience getting help from Krista.
I came to see Krista 3 months ago due to my terrible past that caused me PTSD. I was a hopeless, depressed and unhappy person at first. But with the help from Krista, after therapy sessions, I got my life back. She is such a trustable, friendly and passionate therapist that u can call friend. She is so understanding. Now I’m totally back on my feet, feel confident again to start my new life :)))

As a colleague, I have referred families with children to Krista for her expertise and skill working with kids who are exhibiting defiant or aggressive behavior. Krista also helps children and adolescents with managing and reducing anxiety levels, provides coaching for academic issues and behavioral issues at school, and supports parents and children with coping after a trauma or a loss. Krista demonstrates a high level of expertise with evidence-​based practices for children and families, which help families progress quickly through therapy and see real results. The parents I have referred to Krista have been very appreciative of the help they received from her.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will treat you with respect and compassion as you disclose your experiences, you would be making a great decision by contacting Krista. She is caring, knowledgeable, and safe!
