Ever since childhood, I’ve thirsted to understand myself. Not just my identity or personality, but what makes me who I am: Why do I do what I do? How do I make sense of my emotions? What makes a relationship healthy? And, perhaps most painfully of all, am I enough? Naturally, that curiosity about myself extended to other people. If I am the way I am, what makes others the way they are? And if I can learn to help myself, can I also help others? These questions, coupled with my lifelong relationship with music eventually led me to music therapy, where I worked in hospice care for many years. During one co-visit, I watched my social work colleague walk alongside a patient’s family with such skill, courage, and compassion that I had an aha moment: I want to be able to do that. Not long afterward, I made the decision to go to graduate school to become a psychotherapist and began training in the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music . Before everything, I was a musician. I trained in classical piano until I was fourteen, when I transitioned to violin—and everything fell apart. My teacher criticized more than taught, and I gradually lost confidence in myself as a musician and a person. Still, I committed to the violin, and later to baroque violin, through college and beyond. It wasn’t until I finally gave myself permission to quit violin that I began enjoying music again. But it wasn’t the violin I returned to. I learned cello, and eventually discovered the viola da gamba. Now, I finally feel like I’m home. That experience has shaped the way I understand both creativity and healing. Sometimes the problem is not that we have failed. Sometimes we have spent years trying to become someone we were never meant to be—and healing begins when we become curious about what is actually ours. As musicians, we dedicate our lives to listening: to sound, feeling, silence, nuance, and relationship. I bring that same attentiveness to the therapeutic space. Whether or not you are an artist yourself, I believe therapy is a creative process—one of exploration, discovery, and self-expression. Therapy In my clinical work, I cultivate a warm, open, collaborative space where you can slow down, become curious about your inner experience, and explore what has shaped you. Together, we may work toward healing from childhood trauma, easing anxiety, finding your footing amid major life changes, or rediscovering yourself after burnout. I also work with musicians and other creatives around the particular challenges of artistic life, including musical trauma, performance anxiety, identity, perfectionism, and difficult relationships with their art. My approach draws from depth-oriented and experiential traditions, including the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM)—a therapeutic process that uses music and guided imagery to access emotional experience, insight, transformation, and healing. Whether through words, silence, or sound, my hope is to help you listen more deeply to yourself: to understand the parts of you that have learned to protect you, make space for what has been pushed aside, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and whole. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota and run a private practice from Kraków, Poland, where I work with English-speaking adults both in person and online. I also offer online therapy to residents of Minnesota. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/b8c0272a-10c8-4bc8-85a1-90fc28fe65ca/Screenshot+2026-06-28+at+22.25.16+%281%29.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/872bb9e9-6b12-447e-8479-6759211c9d86/IMG_5101.jpeg About - My Focus Helping you find your way home My style of therapy is client-centered, normalizing, and empowering. I help you find your own answers from within yourself. I won't tell you what your therapeutic goals should be, but will walk alongside you and provide guidance to help you achieve them. How will we do that? We may work with a combination of word- and music-based therapies including traditional talk therapy, receptive music therapy techniques, and other creative arts therapy techniques to help you meet your goals. My job is to provide a safe space and the tools to heal, and walk with you on the journey. https://www.kristinjurkowski.com/instagram-landing-page daily 0.75 2023-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/1691788952933-RM2XQTDYOAVFJGSXPDX5/AdobeStock_176762343.jpeg Instagram Landing Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kristinjurkowski.com/404-page daily 0.75 2023-08-11 https://www.kristinjurkowski.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2023-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/1691788958021-YQV02FNJ694NJ8X2D3IJ/Location+-+Black.png Contact (Copy) - City, State https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/1691788958044-U0Y15N27LYSF58HYBQEO/Cellphone+-+Black.png Contact (Copy) - (555)-555-5555 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/1691788958064-SLDW8S9SZECANH9FDOIB/%40+Email+Alt+-+Black.png Contact (Copy) - email@email.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/1691788958089-DYJ5HQAUHWRH0HLM6RCG/Hours+-+Black.png Contact (Copy) - Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm https://www.kristinjurkowski.com/specialty-page-2 daily 0.75 2023-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/1691788961034-2A13KPRZ87COM00012IH/pexels-liza-summer-6382660.jpg Specialty Page 2 - Maecenas faucibus mollis interdum.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Kristin, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and classical musician. I specialize in helping English-speaking adults heal from trauma and understand how painful experiences continue to shape the way they see themselves, relate to others, and move through the world. I work with folks through childhood and relational trauma and its fallout, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, difficulty forming quality relationships, and other struggles. I also work with clients on cultural adaptation, major life transitions, musical and performance-related trauma, creative burnout, and performance anxiety. As a musician myself, I also understand the particular challenges of building a life around creativity and artistic identity. Together, we can make space for what you’ve been carrying, reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have become lost or disconnected, and find a greater sense of safety, meaning, and possibility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/5ab16cc3-2dbb-4b05-bd6a-1f2c207744ee/ashley-batz-betmVWGYcLY-unsplash.jpg Home - My Approach I approach therapy from a person-centered, trauma-informed perspective, grounded in the belief that you are the expert on you—not me or anyone else. My role is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel safe enough to be curious about yourself, and begin to understand what lies beneath the ways you have learned to cope. I believe there are no bad parts of us. Even the parts we most dislike often developed for good reasons, trying in their own way to protect us or help us survive. Sometimes those strategies are no longer serving us, or they cause pain of their own. Rather than fighting or judging these parts, we can approach them with curiosity and compassion, helping them heal and making more room for the whole of who you are. My work blends traditional psychotherapy with creative and experiential approaches, including music and the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM). These methods can offer ways of exploring experiences that are difficult to reach through words alone, while helping you reconnect with your emotions, body, imagination, creativity, and sense of meaning. Whether you are healing from trauma, navigating a difficult relationship or life transition, or finding your way back to your creative self, our work together is ultimately about helping you feel more fully yourself—with greater safety, freedom, connection, and possibility. https://www.kristinjurkowski.com/services-1 daily 0.75 2023-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/1691788973203-A69AI4BNFYE1K13W2SDR/AdobeStock_201007099.jpg Services (Copy) - When was the last time you invested in you?

You may be navigating unfamiliar cultural expectations, relationships, loneliness, or the loss of the people and places that once felt like home. Finding a therapist who understands something of that experience—and with whom you genuinely feel a connection—can be hard. That’s why I’m here. I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, including people living outside of their home country. I offer a warm, client-centered approach that honors your individual experience and the ways you have learned to navigate the world. This is your journey. You don't have to figure it all out before you begin. We can start wherever you are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/3c4779e4-7bf4-4240-b2e3-c73f0926bcfc/luca-bravo-O453M2Liufs-unsplash.jpg Services - Individual Psychotherapy A place to understand what has happened to you—and find your way forward. Individual therapy is a space to slow down, listen to yourself, and explore what lies beneath the patterns that are no longer serving you. I work with adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, difficult relationships, major life transitions, burnout, questions of identity and self-worth, and the lingering effects of experiences that have changed them. Sometimes you know exactly what brought you to therapy. Sometimes you simply know that something isn't working anymore. You don't have to have the answers before we begin. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply attentive to your individual experience. I don't believe there is a single way you should be healing. Together, we can become curious about your emotions, relationships, body, memories, and the different parts of yourself that have learned to cope in different ways. What we might work on Healing from childhood or relational trauma Anxiety, perfectionism, and self-criticism Difficult or painful relationships Major life transitions, loss, and identity changes Burnout, exhaustion, and feeling disconnected from yourself Self-worth and the question of “Am I enough?” Feeling stuck in patterns you understand intellectually but can't seem to change Reconnecting with creativity, meaning, and a sense of aliveness Performance anxiety and the particular challenges of life as a musician or creative professional How we work I draw from person-centered, trauma-informed, depth-oriented, and experiential approaches. Our work may be primarily conversational, or we may incorporate creative and experiential methods when they feel useful—including the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM). I believe deeply in the therapeutic relationship itself: in being witnessed without judgment, having your experience taken seriously, and developing enough safety to become curious about the parts of yourself that may have been difficult to understand. You don't need to perform here. You don't need to have the right words. You don't need to be “fixed.” You can simply begin where you are. For Musicians & Creatives I also offer therapy for musicians and other creative professionals navigating the intersection of psychological and artistic life. This may include performance anxiety, perfectionism, creative blocks, burnout, artistic identity, difficult experiences within training or performance environments, and musical trauma. As a performing musician and music psychotherapist, I understand how deeply our identities can become intertwined with what we create. Therapy can be a place to explore that relationship with compassion—and to rediscover the parts of yourself that exist beyond achievement and performance. Sessions I work with English-speaking adults in person in Kraków and online, and offer online therapy to residents of Minnesota. I offer a free initial consultation so that we can talk about what you're looking for, answer your questions, and decide whether working together feels like a good fit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d6a681ba5c207431275936/80bf0df9-57f0-4f02-b8d0-c476f937c6d4/ludde-lorentz-YfCVCPMNd38-unsplash.jpeg Services - The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery & Music “The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) is a music-centered, consciousness-expanding therapy developed by Helen Bonny.
