A LIFE WORTH LIVING
Hi, I'm Kristen Shuler, LCSW. I am a Social Worker, comprehensive DBT therapist, and practice owner. Since entering into this field in 2007, I have explored various areas of practice and survived varying degrees of burnout and significant life changes.
My adventurous clinical spirit encountered Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in 2019, and I completed my training, just before the global pandemic hit.
I was so taken by the effectiveness and practicality of the modality that I threw myself into learning and expanding my skills, both personally and professionally.
In 2022, I left the world of community mental health and the DBT consultation team that I led, in order to enter into private practice to be able to make a greater impact on my community and to better meet my professional goals.
I currently lead a consultation team at my private practice, DBT Ozarks, and began forming and leading consultation teams for private practice therapists in 2024. Since incorporating DBT into my daily living, I have significantly increased my ability to cope with the stressors associated with working in private practice in order to better manage my burnout.
From the start of my training, I realized that I could use my creative skills to bring DBT services to the community in new and exciting ways. I can’t wait to help you explore and begin to envision the DBT practice that aligns with your Life Worth Living goals.
