My name is Kristin Charalambidis. I’m a licensed professional counselor based in NJ and host of the mental health podcast Out is Through: Personal Experiences and Therapy Soundbites. I began my work in the field interning with non-residential domestic violence counseling clients at various stages of leaving their abusive relationships…which was exactly the baptism by fire it sounds like and remains one of my most rewarding, life-changing experiences to date as I remain passionate about helping people heal from trauma.
Then I spent 4 years working in co-occurring substance abuse and mental health treatment at various levels of care (though the bulk of my time was spent in residential treatment) and 2 years in the telehealth outpatient world providing counseling to individuals, youth, families, and couples in a small Medicaid-based agency before branching out on my own.
I am committed to helping guide each and every one of my clients on a journey that will hopefully help free them from whatever may be weighing them down so that they can live their lives to their fullest potential.
