About Kirsta Duarte, LCSW

Meet Krista

I engage with clients from a strength based lens and I seek to identify and utilize strategies to meet client’s needs outside of traditional talk therapy. I use a wide variety of clinical modalities such as EMDR Therapy, Ego State Therapy, Somatic Practices, Relational Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy. 

I graduated from the University of Utah with a master’s of social work, with an emphasis in forensics social work. My work history and experience with women, young adults, and teens, in addition to trauma, sexual assault, and domestic violence, have prepared me to best support clients from a trauma and relational informed lens to provide safety, connection and trust with clients. 

When I am not working I am likely spending time with my spouse and son, visiting Disneyland, attending Jazz games, or reading a good book that I can get lost in. 

Reach out if you are seeking to heal, tap into your inner world to get to know yourself on a deeper level, and open to learning new strategies and engage in concepts that may be outside of traditional talk therapy.
