Kristen Sandine LPC, RPT-S
Kristen has a passion for teaching, caring for, and helping children and adolescents. As a preschool teacher and nanny for many years, Kristen recognized her passion for aiding children in developing healthy social and emotional wellness. From these roles, she has come to understand how unique each family and individual situation is and approaches therapy from a culturally considerate and strength-based perspective.
Kristen has aided many neurodivergent children in recognizing their unique strengths and how to use them to continue to grow and learn. Kristen helps children and families to form healthy bonds, create helpful habits and coping skills, and reach their mental health goals.
The closest children in Kristen’s life include her niblings Sam, Lucas, Lily, and Jacob along with the many children of family and friends in her life. Kristen believes in making our community an accepting and loving place for them and all children!
In her down-time, Kristen enjoys traveling, reading, listening to podcasts, going to see live music, and spending time with her family and friends. Kristen works hard to spoil her cats, Sam and Dean, who like to make appearances on camera during Telehealth sessions!
With over 15 years of experience of working with children in various roles and over 8 years in private practice specifically, Kristen looks forward to meeting your family and helping you and your child feel confident in achieving wellness!
