Hope and Healing with Aleta Wellness

Welcome. My name is Kris Lau, PhD, LMHC. I provide supportive counseling, skills and tools to help adults, older adults and caregivers with depression, stress / adjustment, life transitions and grief and loss. I have been described by clients and colleagues as down-to-earth, empathic and compassionate and would be honored to work with you. Our work together is tailored to your specific needs. My overall approach is eclectic with a foundation in humanistic psychology and the wellness model. I also draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused, harm reduction, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness based practices. 

 Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious mental disorder that negatively affects how you feel, think, act, and perceive the world.  Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be effective in treating depression. CBT focuses on recognizing and correcting unhealthy thinking patterns with the goal of changing thoughts and behaviors to respond to challenges in a more positive manner. https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/depression/what-is-depression
