Who We Are

A Mindful Journey, LLC is a behavioral health outpatient telehealth practice serving adults 18+, and I’m honored to be the therapist behind it. Hi, I’m Kristina—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR Certified Therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant.

Since 2008, I’ve walked alongside adults who feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted, or stuck in patterns that won’t shift no matter how hard they try. Maybe life feels like it’s crumbling around you, and despite doing everything you can to hold it together, you still find yourself anxious, burned out, or replaying painful memories you can’t seem to shake. Perhaps you’ve tried refocusing, resetting your goals, or showing up differently for others and yourself, but nothing changes.

You might notice yourself overreacting to small things, struggling to relax, caught in behaviors you can’t break, or feeling like anxiety—or even panic attacks—are running the show. Maybe you feel empty or alone, stuck between the stress of today and the echo of old wounds that haven’t healed.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human, rooted in the belief that hope and healing are always possible.

If you desire a faith-based component in your EMDR work, I am trained and experienced in integrating Christian faith into the therapeutic process and would be honored to include this upon request.

My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to pretend, perform, or push through—just a safe place to begin healing, releasing burdens, and reconnecting with who you were created to be.

If you’re feeling curious, ready for relief, or longing for a renewed sense of life without the constant weight, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free 20-minute consultation, and I’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit for your journey toward clarity, peace, and true healing.

EMDR Consultation Services

As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant , I provide EMDR consultation to help therapists strengthen their skills, gain confidence in the EMDR protocol, and navigate complex cases with clarity. Whether you are working toward certification, seeking to become an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, or interested in EMDR support, consultations offer a collaborative space for growth and guidance.

EMDR Intensives

EMDR intensives create a focused space for healing, helping you find quicker symptom relief and renewed hope. With extended sessions, you can move through challenges more fully, experience meaningful progress, and feel supported as you step toward lasting change.

The ASSYST group is a 1-hour, supportive intervention designed to bring rapid relief from symptoms of acute stress, such as panic, disturbing memories, or difficulty sleeping. In a group setting, each person works individually—similar to a yoga or meditation class—to gently reduce the emotional charge of painful experiences so they feel more like “just a memory” and less overwhelming.

ASSYST Groups

  • "Working with Kristina Huckstep as my EMDR therapist was such a gift. She was always timely, kind, and incredibly genuine. It was clear this was never just a job to her; she is genuinely passionate about helping her clients heal. Kristina listened to all of my questions and doubts with patience and compassion, never rushing me or making me feel dismissed. She said we did 2 years' worth of therapy in just 3 days. I'm so grateful for her and her process. She created a safe space where I could be honest and vulnerable, and she guided me with both empathy and expertise. Every dollar spent with her was absolutely worth it. I’m so grateful for the progress I've made and the impact she’s had on my life. I would highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for an EMDR therapist who is both skilled and truly invested in their healing."

    Client

  • "Another client mentioned EMDR Intensive therapy was “a very positive experience” for her. She stated that after a half day session (3 hours) she felt both emotional and physical body sensations that “a heavy weight was lifted from me …it was such a relief that it brought tears to my eyes."

    Client

  • "What a neat experience! I was able to work through such a stressful and triggering time without having to talk about it all. I was able to use artwork in my session to process my stressful experience so easily and Kristina guided me through it to where I felt so calm and competent to handle the challenge I have been facing. Thank you!"
