Kristen Yehiel, CPSC, CYT

Kristen’s work is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing the ways trauma impacts the mind, body, and spirit. She supports clients in navigating:

• Trauma recovery and post-traumatic growth

• Grief and loss

• Depression and anxiety linked to past experiences

• Reconnecting with the body after disconnection caused by trauma

 

Her integrative approach combines peer support, somatic awareness, and yoga therapy, offering clients practical tools to regulate the nervous system, build resilience, and move forward with greater peace and stability.

 

Alongside her broad trauma recovery work, Kristen holds a niche specialization in behavior correction for disordered eating patterns and orthorexia. She works with clients to:

• Challenge rigid food rules and behaviors that disrupt daily life

• Heal the emotional and behavioral roots of disordered eating

• Develop a more balanced, compassionate relationship with food and body

• Integrate mind-body practices to reduce anxiety around eating and body image

 

Her combined background in peer counseling and yoga therapy uniquely equips her to address both the emotional drivers and the physical manifestations of these challenges.

 

An Integrative Approach

Kristen combines mental health tools with mind-body practices for whole-person healing. Her sessions may include:

• Behavioral correction strategies to break rigid or harmful eating cycles.

• Somatic and yoga-based practices to reduce stress, regulate emotions, and restore body awareness.

• Peer support and lived-experience insights that create a safe, judgment-free environment.

• Trauma-informed care to gently explore the root causes behind disordered eating.

 

This integrative approach helps clients not only change behaviors but also heal the underlying patterns that sustain them.

 

Kristen’s Philosophy

Kristen believes that recovery is not about erasing the past, but about building the tools, self-trust, and resilience needed to thrive in the present. She offers a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space, where clients can explore their struggles, celebrate their progress, and feel empowered to make lasting change.
