Kristi Ottis, MS, NCC, LPC

Picture
Assisting individuals and families to live happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives is a passion of mine. I have been providing individual counseling services for children, adolescents, and adults as well as family therapy since 2005. I have had the opportunity to gain clinical experience in a variety of settings including community mental health, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and private practice.

​My specialty areas include anxiety disorders, grief/loss, self-esteem, assertiveness training, emotional/verbal abuse, working with empaths, spirituality, life transitions, stress management, self-care, and depression.  Are you an Empath? Take my Empath Quiz to find out!

​The evidence-based practices I primarily utilize are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Mindfulness-based strategies along with a Strength-Based approach in helping my clients. Additional techniques, skills and approaches are used as well when they would be most effective for helping a client achieve their desired outcome. I  look forward to working with you and your family to achieve your counseling goals.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University and my Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My professional memberships include the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association.

The Power of Self-Love Workshop

My teaching memoir, Speaking My Truth: No Longer Silent recounts my journey of healing from many traumas as I  was guided down an unexpected path of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. All of my experiences taught me to reclaim my voice, reconnect with myself and my intuition, and to transform all of the pain into a higher purpose of helping others. That led to greater happiness and overall health and wellbeing. In Speaking My Truth: No Longer Silent, I offer this same gift of healing and personal transformation to anyone struggling to recover from trauma by joining me on this journey.

Over the past 17 years, I’ve felt privileged and honored as my clients have vulnerably shared with me their personal stories of pain, heartbreak, and strength, inviting me into a part of their life’s story. I believe one of my life’s purposes has been to aid in the healing, empowerment, and transformation of as many people as possible. To further work toward that goal, I am in the early stages of writing my first book: Speaking My Truth: No Longer Silent. All of my clients, past and present, are a huge inspiration for me to also share my story, to speak my truth.
​
My greatest hope in writing this book is for people to know that healing from trauma and grief as well as the ability to thrive in all areas of their lives after it is truly possible! My book offers the specific steps, exercises, and tools to make that a reality for them too!
