About Kristen Barrett (She/Her)

Kristen Barrett helps teens, adults, and older adults across Massachusetts find steady, practical support for emotional challenges that can affect daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. At LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy and group therapy for people seeking care for anxiety, trauma, and women’s mental health concerns, while also supporting a range of additional needs. Her approach is warm, grounded, and clinically experienced, helping patients build coping skills, understand patterns, and move toward meaningful change.

A central focus of Kristen’s work is caring for women navigating vulnerable and often overwhelming seasons of life. She is especially attuned to postpartum depression and anxiety, reproductive challenges, and the emotional impact these experiences can have on identity, partnership, and self-confidence. She creates space for patients to feel heard without judgment while developing a treatment plan that is thoughtful, evidence-based, and tailored to their goals.

Kristen also works with teens, adults, older adults, and individuals on the autism spectrum who are looking for therapy that is both compassionate and action-oriented. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and parenting skills to help patients manage symptoms, strengthen resilience, and improve day-to-day functioning. With decades of experience since beginning practice in 1986, she brings a steady presence to treatment and understands how mental health concerns can shift across different stages of life.

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker educated at Boston College and Wheelock College. Outside of her clinical work, Kristen enjoys gardening, quilting, walking with her dog, and spending time in nature—interests that reflect the calm, reflective presence she brings to therapy. For patients in Massachusetts seeking therapy for anxiety, trauma, women’s mental health concerns, and life transitions, Kristen Barrett offers experienced care through LifeStance Health.
