Kurt Droste

I believe that the most important thing to begin with is listening, to truly learn how we can move towards who you want to be.

About My Clients

My clients come from all backgrounds, but I find myself gravitating towards working with those who have difficulty defining what their goals are beyond "I want to feel better/happier/less stressed".I find there is so much to learn with and from these clients as we approach finding what they want from life and how they can achieve those goals. Whether that is by moving past trauma, learning to better handle life's ups and downs or just finding peace in accepting who they are, we can find the path

My Background and Approach

I utilize various methods to help my clients become their best self, including EMDR, CBT, individual and couple’s counseling - I operate from the standpoint that the point of going to therapy is to STOP going to therapy. My goal is to help you work towards your goals so that we can get you back to living your best life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I will strive to provide a safe, calm and accepting environment where we can explore those things that may be holding you back from being who you want to be. I believe deeply that you are the ultimate expert on yourself and our relationship will always be all about you and how we can begin moving towards “your best self.”
