Kristina L Kardanow

The distance between a teen and a parent often feels like a canyon. One side feels unheard; the other feels pushed away. In my practice, I don't just work with individuals, I work with the space between you - where the blame game ends and real understanding begins. I create an atmosphere where teens feel heard without being 'ganged up on', where parents feel supported rather than blamed, and where couples can rediscover the friendship underneath the tension. For over 20 years, I've helped families build that bridge-regaining common ground and harmony needed to thrive together. I am not the kind of therapist who just sits back and nods. Most families I work with describe me as bringing a mix of warmth, directness, and even a little humor to our sessions-because healing doesn't always have to feel heavy. I view our relationship as a collaborative partnership; while I bring the tools, you are the expert on your own family. Reaching out is often the hardest part of the journey.
