Hi, my name is Kristi Waidhofer (she/her/hers) and I believe walking into therapy is one of the bravest gifts you can give yourself. I try to create a calm, safe environment for clients. My style is relational, warm, kind, and encouraging which makes it easy for my clients to relax. I have a genuine, down-to-earth personality and I speak to clients in much the same way that I would talk to a friend or any other person in my life. I am not just a “smile and nod” therapist nor am I just going to stare at you until you start talking. I much prefer to roll up my sleeves and “sit in the suck” with you to make real movement towards your therapy goals.

I identify as MidFat though I have been bigger and smaller throughout my journey. There is something powerful and naturally therapeutic in sharing vulnerable experiences with someone that can “get it”. Likewise, it can incredibly healing to be in a space sitting across from a body size that is the antithesis of what someone may have been taught to strive for.

It is important to note that I am an anti-racist, fat and sex positive therapist, and constantly work to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

When I am not working with clients I enjoy listening to live music, hiking, photography, gardening, and trying to pet every animal I come into contact with.
