I believe mental wellness is deeply personal. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I offer individualized, evidence-based care designed to support your unique journey. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to rediscover your inner glow.

My approach is holistic and collaborative. I take time to understand your experiences and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy, medication management, lifestyle guidance, or education. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, and mood disorders — with a strong commitment to cultural sensitivity and psychological safety.

My style is warm, non-judgmental, respectful, and focused on building trust and clarity. we go at your speed and things should always be comfortable for you during visit.

At Glow Mind Care, you're not just receiving care — you're forming a partnership for lasting mental wellness.

Partner 1: “I reach for you, but it feels like you’re already gone.” I’m left wondering if I matter to you at all.” Partner 2: “When you come close, I feel the pressure to be perfect, so I pull back to protect us both.” These unspoken messages leave couples lonely and stuck. I help break this anxious–avoidant cycle so partners feel safe, seen, and deeply connected again.

“I don’t understand why I want closeness so badly, yet feel disappointed when I have it. Why do I feel lonelier than others, even when I’m not alone?” Or: “I care deeply, but people say I’m distant or hard to read. When emotions get intense, I shut down—not because I don’t feel, but because it feels like too much.”

These quiet tensions live beneath awareness for many people. Longing and self-protection pull in opposite directions. Needs feel confusing, emotions feel overwhelming or unsafe, and core beliefs quietly form—I’m too much, I’m not enough, connection costs me something.

I help people loosen these patterns, reconcile the Self with more truthful and adaptive beliefs, and move toward self-acceptance and interdependence—where connection no longer threatens safety, but deepens it.

After nine years serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, I realized my deepest fulfillment came not from fixing systems, but from walking with people. Leaving the military was not a departure from service—it was a continuation of it. I pursued social work and theological training to better support people in their most important relationships. Today, my practice is devoted to couples counseling and trauma-informed care. Drawing primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR, I help couples slow conflict, understand what drives disconnection, and emotional safety. As a veteran and seminary-trained therapist, I bring structure, compassion, and steady hope—meeting clients with respect, grace, and a belief in lasting change.

Hi! I'm Kristan Seaford, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor for over 20 years. I got my BA in English and Psychology from Duke University and a MA in Counseling from Wake Forest University.

However, it is my "on the job" training that has proven to be invaluable. I began my career working as a college counselor; then I became a play therapist in a private practice. Finally, in 2016, I realized one of my life's biggest dreams. I opened my own practice!

I hold an MSW from Boston University and have been in practice for 30 years. I have trained in CBT, Gestalt, Humanistic, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered Therapy.

Life can be unpredictable, filled with moments of stress, uncertainty, and past hurts that hold us back. Drawing on my background as a retired member of the U.S. Air Force, I bring discipline, commitment, and a compassionate understanding of life's challenges to my practice. As a husband and father of four, I know firsthand the importance of building strong, supportive relationships and nurturing a sense of connection and purpose. My journey in higher education began with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice in 2019, followed by earning a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University in 2022.

Additionally, being EMDR trained and well-versed in a variety of therapeutic approaches allows me to customize treatment plans that address your unique needs, whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges.

When we're in session, you'll find a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we'll work to dismantle unhelpful patterns and build the skills necessary for a balanced, fulfilling life. Let's embark on this journey to uncover your inner strength and create lasting, positive change.
