Kristyn VanderZouwen, LMSW

Kristyn VanderZouwen approaches therapy as a process of listening for the stories that shape a life, helping people hold what matters and release what no longer serves them. She brings a gentle, attentive presence to work with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, ADHD, and the disorientation that comes with major life changes. Drawing on experience supporting survivors of sexual assault, people navigating religious wounds, and those managing illness or shifts in identity, she helps clients make sense of painful memories and find steadier ground in daily living.

Kristyn practices from the perspective of a Licensed Master Social Worker - LMSW - and frames care around connection, respect, and practical skills. Her practice includes approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which she tailors to each person’s needs. She has also worked with concerns related to attachment, trauma, panic, postpartum and pregnancy-related issues, grief, and challenges tied to neurodiversity and intellectual disability.

Rather than judgment, Kristyn emphasizes returning to oneself - reclaiming voice and agency amid pain or uncertainty. Her work is rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and the belief that meaningful change can begin even when it feels late or overwhelming.
