Dr. Kristina Miholich, Psy.D., Owner

Kristina Miholich is a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY25801) and Reiki Master.  She earned her Doctorate of Psychology from Alliant International University in 2011 and has been working in private practice since 2016. Dr. Miholich began her Reiki training in 2020 and completed her Reiki Master training in 2022. 

Dr. Miholich works with each of her clients individually to identify their specific concerns and needs. She practices from the framework of somatic psychology, which means that she believes that there is a strong connection between our mind, spirit, and body. She believes that without healing our body, or nervous system, with the help of therapy and energy healing we cannot heal our minds and emotions. Therefore, her treatment integrates the use of thoughts and emotions as well as the information garnered from the body in order to heal oneself. Dr. Miholich sees every individual as having the capacity to heal themselves and she as the therapist serves as a guide in that process. Dr. Miholich often describes herself as specializing in assisting individuals in reprogramming their body and mind so that they are no longer plagued by negativity and can instead step into living life from a joyful place.
