I am Kristi Eckert an, LPC, with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology. I have been a licensed counselor for 10+ years in the state of Texas. I began my profession as a college counselor at Angelo State University Counseling Services in San Angelo, Texas. I loved working with the student population, but also wanted to work with adults in the general population, so I transitioned to a non-profit counseling service to work with adults of all ages. I enjoyed treating in person and then via a Telehealth platform. I really missed seeing clients in person, which led me to Curis Functional Health, which allows me to treat clients in person and virtually.
In my off time, I am a married mom of 2 girls, practice Brazilian jiu-jitsu, love to cook, and spend time in nature with my family!
Who are you are best positioned to serve?
I work really well with motivated clients who are ready to put in the work that being in counseling can present.
What areas you feel are your biggest strengths?
I will work hard to meet people where they are and support them as they work toward their goals and tailor their treatment to align with their individual needs.
What's your favorite part about being a therapist?
I love seeing clients accomplish their goals and be a part of the process of someone experiencing a positive impact from counseling. This is what fascinates me and keeps me curious about people and their resilience.
What can clients expect?
I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Through this process, I hope my clients take the tools they learn in counseling and apply them to their daily lives.
Why did you join Curis?
I really appreciate the functional health model and having the flexibility to create a schedule that fits my professional and home life.
