Kevin Riesselman
Licensed Master Social Worker
I see my role as a therapist is to help people cope with the stressors that life has placed before them while also being present to hope and plan for the future. I use mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and strengths based techniques. I work with adults and children over 10. I have experience working with clients with chronic mental illness including those diagnosed with Autism, and Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD). I enjoy helping people identify and use their strengths to become more resilient. I like rockhounding, fishing, disc golf, kayaking, and gardening. I enjoy playing music on my guitar, playing video games and reading.
