About Us
Meet Krista
As a former professional dancer, Krista performed on Broadway, in TV & Film and was a Radio City Rockette before going back to school to obtain her Masters in Counseling from Northwestern University.
Krista is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor at a private practice in Raleigh, NC working with adults, couples, and children. As a therapist, her approach looks a little different with every client because each session is tailored to the unique needs of the individual. In both private and group settings, Krista uses an integrative therapeutic approach that focuses on relationship and pulls from Cognitive Behavioral, Acceptance & Commitment, Somatic and Psychodynamic therapies. Krista has additional education for working with children with the use of play therapy.

Lisa Gajda Maiolo
(Therapist, MFT)
Lisa’s therapeutic philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: it’s all about the relationship!

Skylar Windham

Skylar has a wide range of life experience that he brings to his work with clients. He has worked in the corporate coffee industry, local politics, insurance, and education, has traveled extensively, learned to captain a sailboat and to tango in Argentina.
He currently holds space for other humans to process life and bears witness to their experiences at his private practice in Portland, OR.
Lizz Picini
(Master Teacher, Choreographer, Performer)
Lizz is one of the dance industry’s best and brightest talents and educators. Based in NYC, she has made a name for herself in the business by actively “wearing all the hats” and operating on both sides of the table. She is a sought after teacher and mentor who provides valuable insight and training to guide dancers toward sustainable and successful careers and is a triple threat talent in her own right performing in musicals across the country and in renowned theaters like Washington DC's famous Kennedy Center. When she isn't seen onstage Lizz is busy lending her talents as Assistant/Associate choreographer for some of the industry’s best.
Lizz approaches her artistic work with the value of “human first” and “performer second” and it is this healthy, grounding approach that is invaluable to the connection between dance and mental health that ZoliMind seeks to bridge.
