Kitt Klassen
Hi, I'm Kitt! I'm the owner of Defiant Therapy, LLC, a practice that offers an affirming space for you to embrace "defiance" - a sense of trust in yourself that leads you to challenge expectations. I value creating space where you can discover your expansiveness, care for the parts of yourself that need tenderness and fierce compassion, and get clear about the change you need and the acceptance you deserve. I work with individuals (adults and adolescents), relationships of two or more, and families who want and need this radical space. I encourage you to bring your full self to therapy, and I center my work in an understanding of oppression. The problems that you bring to therapy are often contextual as well as personal, and we will examine both. I honor our interdependence and our autonomy, and our work will be informed by the values and experiences that are important to you. I use techniques from EMDR, IFS, Mindfulness, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and other approaches to help you find you way to true authenticity. I strive to help you evolve both internal and external systems toward liberation. Please see my website for more information about my approach and to make an appointment!
