Hi, I’m Dr. KJ Foster — Founder of Fostering Resilience, licensed counselor, author, and content creator. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and have over 15 years of clinical counseling experience.

I focus my practice on helping people strengthen their mental and emotional

well-being so they can feel more confident and supported in everyday life.

I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Trauma-Focused CBT to support each person’s unique needs.

I’ve created a collection of books and workbooks that provide practical tools and encouragement you can use every day on your journey toward strength, resilience, and emotional well-being.

From the Seeds of Serenity devotional series to the Universal 12-Step Workbook and the Mastering Self-Love Workbook, each resource is designed to meet you where you are and guide you forward with clarity and support.

Whether you’re building healthier habits, deepening your recovery, or simply seeking more peace in your life, these books are here to walk alongside you. Explore the full collection and find the resource that speaks to your needs.

I've also created a YouTube channel @drkjfoster where I share meditations, sobriety education and other mental health information.

Here, you’ll find a blend of science, spirituality, and heart-centered support for your journey of healing and hope.

I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, substance use, trauma, and challenges in relationships. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Through our work together, they often experience greater peace of mind, healthier coping skills, renewed confidence, and a stronger sense of resilience in daily life.
