KEARSTON A. RUDOLPH, MA, LSC, LPCC

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Kearston has years of experience working with individuals navigating mental health challenges. Having personally experienced the challenges of raising a child with mental health struggles, Kearston brings deep empathy and understanding to her work and knows firsthand the impact that mental health struggles can have on a family.

In therapy with Kearston, you can expect a blend of compassion, empathy, and—most importantly—fun! She believes that healing doesn’t have to be dull or intimidating and has the goal to create a safe space where clients can explore their emotions and work through their struggles while feeling supported and uplifted.

Both professional and life experiences have equipped Kearston to recognize the resiliency embedded in every individual’s story. She believes we were ALL created to experience wholeness; and not to settle for anything less! She is committed to being an instrument of God’s healing grace and to help people know that they don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. 

Kearston focuses on children, teens and young adults with a wide range of presenting concerns related, but not limited to: Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, Relationship Issues, Creating Boundaries, Communication, Self-esteem/Self-worth, Life Transitions and the stress that simply comes from growing up. She also has a passion for working with the siblings, parents and/or entire family units of her clients to allow the most cohesive and cooperative relationships possible.

Kearston’s therapeutic approach is collaborative, supportive, strength-based and client-centered in nature. She realizes that no two kiddos are the same, and therefore will customize her therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual client. Helping them find their innate strengths - even ones they may not recognize - can be so empowering and encouraging for them. Her main goal is for everyone to leave her office feeling loved, validated, safe and accepted.
