About Us
About the Owner…
Krista has a unique blend of experience as both a therapist and an aviation enthusiast, she understands the complexities of a pilot's lifestyle. Krista has served as an embedded therapist within a special operations flying unit, gaining firsthand insight into the mental health challenges faced by those in the aviation field. Having logged her own hours in the cockpit, and having several pilots within her family, she knows the demands and pressures of the profession—both in the air and at home. She is passionate about providing discreet, confidential and effective support for pilots who may be hesitant to seek traditional mental health services due to concerns about how it could impact their career. Her approach focuses on enhancing personal resilience and professional performance, without the stigma. She’s here to help you navigate the challenges of life as a pilot, so you can continue to soar both personally and professionally.

Disclaimer
Some members of our team are licensed therapists and also trained coaches. However, psychotherapy and coaching are separate services with distinct roles, goals, and ethical guidelines.
For this reason, a team member cannot provide both coaching and psychotherapy to the same client. If you are receiving coaching, that work will remain within a coaching relationship. If psychotherapy is appropriate, it will be provided separately by a different licensed clinician.
While coaching and therapy may address similar themes, they differ in scope, structure, and level of clinical intervention.
If, during coaching, it is identified that psychotherapy or a higher level of care is needed, we will provide a referral to an appropriate provider or facilitate transition to a separate clinical team member.
