CBT Solutions, LLC

Hello, I'm Kirstie Hall, LPCC, primary therapist at CBT Solutions. I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders and eating disorders for adolescents and adults. Evidence-based therapy uses methods shown to be effective through scientific research. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which involves working together to achieve a full understanding of your concerns, and to create a treatment strategy aimed at adjusting your behaviors and thoughts to improve your wellbeing. My areas of expertise include obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders including avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). I draw on my extensive training in CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). When working with clients, I focus first on developing a supportive therapeutic relationship. Anxiety and avoidance of fearful situations can make it feel like your world is shrinking. I can help you expand your life by helping you make changes to your behaviors and thinking patterns. This can have a positive impact on your mood and your ability to live your life fully, without symptoms holding you back. I view eating disorders as similar to anxiety disorders and therefore use a related approach rooted in CBT. I may also integrate methods from other evidence-based treatments such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Family Based Treatment for eating disorders (FBT), and mindfulness techniques to meet your individual needs. I earned my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Saint Thomas, where I received practical training in the treatment of individuals with eating disorders. After completing my degree, I worked in a partial hospitalization program applying evidence-based treatments to help adolescents and adults struggling with OCD, anxiety disorders, depression and eating disorders. I also have experience treating clients within a behavioral healthcare setting and working as part of an interdisciplinary team to provide comprehensive mental health care.
