Meet Kristopher

Kristopher L. Walton is committed to guiding individuals and families to skills and techniques to achieve happy, innovative and creative lives. He will guide you to have increased mental energy, peace of mind and greater success.

“If you are looking for a proven professional who can guide you to help people be motivated, focused, and directed in their lives you’ve come to the right place. With 18-years of experience working with amazing clients with similar worries and concern and guiding them to achieve remarkable success, my mission and commitment is to teach scientifically proven technologies and skills to face fear, overcome problems, and create new visions to achieve greater peace of mind, joy in life, happiness in yourself and your family.

My path to become a psychotherapist, author, consultant, and motivational speaker became clear at an early age.  I had to overcome many difficulties, adversities and turnarounds throughout most of my childhood and early teen years. These events were difficult, but they created motivation to overcome any challenges that block my path. I want to help you heal from the difficulties you’ve faced in your life, and to achieve a sense of self-reliance and confidence in yourself.”
