Kristin Platt, LCSW-R

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about providing quality therapy that provides you with a safe, collaborative space to learn about yourself and grow yourself. I have over 10 years of experience in the field working with individuals, families and couples and am always seeking opportunities to grow and expand my own knowledge base.  I am passionate about assisting clients in navigating past traumas, life transitions and present symptoms that are interfering with where you want to be in your life.  We will work together to establish a better understanding of your challenges and custom create a treatment approach that allows you to work through unresolved challenges at your own pace.

Over the years we’ve learned that “talk therapy” or insight oriented approaches just aren’t enough to find true healing. I work with you to provide therapy modalities that will help you to identify trapped emotional pain using an integrated approach to better understand your nervous system and barriers to connecting with yourself. I utilize approaches from systems theory, attachment theory, IFS (internal family systems) informed work, neuroscience and trauma informed practices.  Additionally, I am pursuing certification in EMDR, an evidence based practice to treat trauma and other life altering experiences.  

(I do not participate with insurance companies at this time.  I can provide you with a superbill to submit for reimbursement.)

Experience

I graduated from Syracuse University with a Master's in Social Work and spent the next 10 years working in community based mental and behavioral health.  I provided in home therapy, clinic based therapy and collaborated with a range of diverse professionals that contributed to my growth and development as a therapist.  I was fortunate enough to expand my clinical development and work as a clinical supervisor for many years and continue to provide this service to fellow therapists.  

I have been working in private practice for the last 5 years and find this work to be fulfilling and restorative. I am honored to work with every client that comes my way. I value being able to serve my community and surrounding communities.
