Kristi Coddington, LCSW
Kristi Coddington, LCSW, is no ordinary therapist. She's the mental health equivalent of a witty superhero, except her cape is a cozy therapist's chair, and her superpower?—Nudging people towards happier, healthier more productive life.
With many years of experience in the battlefield of life's ups and downs, Kristi has developed a finely tuned sixth sense for helping clients navigate their toughest challenges. Think of her as your very own emotional GPS!
As an LCSW, she specializes in mental and behavioral health, which is basically a fancy way of saying she helps you break free from the bad habits holding you back and equips you with the skills to become your own superhero. After all, life is too short for self-doubt and endless circles of 'what ifs', right?
A graduate from the 'School of Hard Knocks' and the University of Compassion (okay, it's actually New Mexico Highlands University—but we're certain compassion was a big part of the curriculum), Kristi brings an ideal blend of academic knowledge and real-world wisdom.
In her spare time, Kristi enjoys spending time at the family ranch, reading, and convincing her adorable emotional support dog, Ojo that she's NOT a chew toy. She believes laughter is the best medicine and incorporates a healthy dose of humor in her therapy—because, let's face it, sometimes life feels a bit like a sitcom!
Kristi Coddington. Therapist. Lifelong student. Occasional dog toy. Your guide on the journey to a better you. So, are you ready to turn the page and start a new chapter?

Kristi and her husband Tommy (our office Mascot) own a beautiful ranch in the mountains with cattle. They love to spend as much time there as possible. Kristi affectionately refers to this year's bull as Beffasaurus Rex and the ranch's resident weasle as El Chapo. You can ask her about that.

When it comes to Ojo, his favorite depends on what day it is and where he. While our clients are his all time fav's. On days off, he loves to get pampered at the groomer and on the days he spends at the ranch, he just wants go get to know the moo's up close and personal. Thankfully he hasn't shared too much love with Beefasaurus Rex.
