Kristen Muché is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), trauma psychotherapist, lecturer, and mental health advocate. She has been doing trauma work for 11 years, and it's something that she is very passionate about. She specializes in the treatment of complex trauma (aka C-PTSD), sexual trauma, vicarious trauma, generational trauma, and organized crime. She has practiced in a diverse range of settings, including community non-profits, outpatient clinics, street-based homeless services, jails, residential homes and facilities, police departments, courthouses, and hospitals. She also creates and facilitates training on various trauma-related topics, with the goal of creating more awareness about trauma-informed care. As a lecturer and clinical supervisor, she loves to share her passion for this work with students and new clinicians who are earning their degrees in the fields of social work, counseling, psychology, and criminal justice.
Her style is based on a relational, eclectic approach, and she enjoys expressive arts, imagination, vast thresholds of reality, the rebellious and unconventional, integrating multicultural values and practices, nature, and being real. She is also an artist, vegan, sci-fi/fantasy nerd, and can be found getting lost in forests or teaching herself how to tattoo poorly.
