Kristen Whelan LCSW is licensed in New York. She has more than twelve years of experience supporting teens, adults, and couples in overcoming anxiety/depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and chronic stress. She believes we each have experiences that have shaped the way we view ourselves, our relationships, and the world. Kristen helps her clients reconnect with themselves and build genuine and thriving relationships with others.

Kristen strives to create a warm and trusting environment, free of judgment, to promote a safe space for self-discovery and personal growth. Together you will explore opportunities for self-acceptance, skill building, and understanding the mind-body connection to free yourself from the patterns and limitations imposed on you by your past, culture, society, and most importantly yourself.

Kristen incorporates several evidence-based therapeutic techniques into her work including Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gottman Method, Mind-Body Connection, and trauma-informed care.
