Kristen Yehiel, CPSC, CYT

Kristen Yehiel is the Director of Integrative Therapies at Eternal Renewal Counseling, where she brings almost a decade of clinical experience in trauma-informed mental health care. Kristen specializes in supporting individuals through trauma recovery, grief, depression, anxiety, and disconnection from the body—recognizing how these experiences can become deeply held in both the nervous system and lived experience. Her role also encompasses advanced work as a Behavior Correction Specialist, with a focused practice in supporting individuals recovering from orthorexia and disordered eating patterns by addressing both behavioral rigidity and the emotional underpinnings of these conditions. 

​

In her work, Kristen integrates evidence-informed practices with compassionate peer support and embodied approaches to foster sustainable healing. She also serves as a faith-centered Christian peer counselor, offering Christ-centered group workshops and pastoral-informed support that honor the interplay between spiritual resilience and psychological wellbeing. Kristen’s mission is to educate, empower, and guide individuals toward autonomy in their healing journeys—helping them rebuild trust with their bodies, regulate their emotions, and cultivate a durable sense of self-agency. 

​

Core Therapeutic Approach:

• Trauma-Informed Care: Prioritizing safety, regulation, and nervous system awareness in all aspects of therapeutic engagement. 

• Mind-Body Integration: Somatic practices, breathwork, and yoga-therapeutic tools that restore embodied presence and emotional regulation. 

• Behavior Correction Strategies: Targeted support for breaking rigid, unhelpful patterns—including orthorexia and disordered eating—while fostering balance and self-compassion. 

• Peer Support and Lived Insight: Leveraging mutual understanding and non-judgmental support to build resilience and self-trust. 

• Faith-Centered Integration: Creating space for Christian spiritual grounding alongside clinical practices. 

 

Kristen is committed to creating safe, and supportive environments where individuals can engage deeply with their healing work and emerge with greater confidence, agency, and lasting transformation.
