Bio:  Kristina DeVillier, M.Ed., LPC

 

    I am a graduate of Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas with a Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis in Counseling and Development. I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. I am currently licensed by the State of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor.

 

    My experience includes providing individual and group counseling. I also have experience in working with clients that experienced anxiety, Bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, chronic illness, chronic pain, Obsessive Compulsive disorder, self-esteem issues, schizophrenia, ADHD, anger issues, grief, hoarding, divorce, marriage, blended families, Non-suicidal self injury or cutting, and adjustment/stress disorders. I also have approximately 18 years of nursing experience working with individuals and families during illness, crisis, and death.  I also have approximately 13 years experience as a Community Faith Nurse in which faith and healing are integrated into promoting health and wellness within a congregation.  Last, I have approximately 14 years experience advocating within the school districts.

​

   Counseling provides a safe place for people to talk about and work through their situation.  I believe that people obtain counseling whenever they need help with personal matters.  Life may not be running as smoothly as they  would like for it too or maybe there is a specific problem that a person needs to be able to talk about in order to work it out. 

    

   My counseling approach is Adlerian and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while using eclectic techniques. In counseling, you can expect to work with me as your partner. Our relationship will be one of mutual trust, respect, and sincerity. You can expect me to use a variety of counseling techniques. Some techniques that are used to assist with this process are empathy, education, encouragement and fostering the sense of fellowship or togetherness.
