The team at Dr. Fallon's Practice is thrilled to welcome Kristen Duffy, MS, MHC-LP! Kristen is a New York State Mental Health Counselor (Limited Permit) who earned her Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Pace University in Pleasantville, NY. She also holds Associate's degrees in Fine Arts and Communication Design, as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Advertising Design, all from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Kristen's diverse educational and professional background, sharp mental health counseling skills, and warm, inviting demeanor make her an excellent fit for clients seeking growth and healing under the care of a compassionate and skilled therapist.
Kristen has a profound passion for assisting individuals facing interpersonal and relationship challenges. In therapy, when individuals are genuinely willing to explore themselves, their partners, and the impact of their histories on current dynamics, significant growth and stronger relationship bonds can occur. Kristen finds immense joy in helping people navigate relationship struggles, facilitating deeper insights into each other, and unlocking greater levels of connection, vulnerability, and love.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Kristen provides a warm and safe space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment, and particularly enjoys working with individuals dealing with life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, work-life balance, family dynamics, phase-of-life issues, trauma, and self-worth. She advocates for a holistic approach to personal growth and self-evolution, enabling clients to acknowledge, process, and ultimately reshape their narratives to align with their true selves and aspirations, leading to a more authentic life. By nurturing a trusting and non-judgmental environment, she and her clients collaboratively explore their concerns, facilitating personal growth and self-discovery.
It was my first appointment, and it went well. I have my next appointment set up for the 28th.
