Kristen C. Dew, LMFT, CST (she/her/they/them)
Owner
My name is Kristen Dew and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist in Monroe, CT. I feel honored and privileged every day to help people work through struggles and see growth and change. From the second you walk into my office, my focus is on understanding you, what you need, and helping you to grow. I think everyone is resourceful and resilient but there are blocks that prevent us from using those strengths. You already have what it takes to make change in your life and relationships, but sometimes need guidance to get there. Everyone struggles, life is hard, and there is no instruction manual.
In my office, you are free to fully express yourself. I welcome anyone who adheres to or deviates from the norm. I love working with alternative relationships, consensual/ethical non-monogamy, BDSM/kink, nerds/geeks/gamers of all kinds, vegan or vegetarians, outdoor enthusiasts, neurodivergent types, or those with other special interests that are an important part of your world. I also welcome diversity and I work from a (DEI) diversity, equity and inclusion framework. Social justice is very important to me. My clients would describe me as kind, curious, passionate, silly, and helpful. I’m excited to get to know you!
