Kristin Michaelson, LSW, is a Licensed Social Worker in the state of New Jersey and a Licensed Master Social Worker in New York. Kristin earned her MSW at Rutgers University. She also studied Psychology, Human Development, and the Biological Basis of Behavior during her Masters and Undergraduate degrees at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania, respectively.

After 20 years working with children, families, and adults in the education & parent coaching industry, I broadened my skills by earning my degree and licensure in social work. I leverage my many years of family work to offer support through the anxiety and depression that can come with life transitions, especially divorce, separation, and stepfamilies, as well as work-life balance, rebuilding networks during new stages of life.

Kristin is solution-focused & collaborative and also offers nature therapy in additon to traditional modalities.
