Kristina B. Paape,
MSW, LCSW, QS
Executive Director/Licensed Clinical Social Worker
About My Approach
My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone possesses the internal strength needed for growth. I utilize a person-centered, trauma-informed framework combined with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help you identify patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or seeking to improve your relationships, we will work collaboratively to build a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable. With over a decade of experience, I am committed to maintaining a safe, non-judgmental space where your voice is heard and your journey is respected.
​
I have over a decade of experience working in different areas including home health, outpatient community mental health, outpatient substance use disorders, inpatient stabilization, partial hospitalization, and Macro Social Work/Quality Improvement processes.
