Dr. Kristin K. Vanden Hoek, PsyD, received her Bachelor’s degree from Calvin College, and her Master’s and Doctoral degree from Wheaton College. She completed her doctoral internship at the Wichita Collaborative Psychology Internship Program in Kansas. Kristin is trained as a generalist psychologist and has also completed specialized training and concentrations in Marriage & Family, and Children & Adolescent treatment. Kristin especially enjoys working with adolescents, adults, and families, as well as walking alongside clients who have experienced traumatic loss and grief.
Kristin enjoys creating an individualized and collaborative relationship with each client in order to meet each person’s unique personality and goals. Although people come to therapy for a variety of reasons, most people desire to gain understanding about themselves and their relationships. Kristin creates a space for such discoveries and growth processes to unfold. Further, she provides encouragement and guidance to her clients in order to support them in living more empowered, hopeful, and purposeful lives, which are aligned with their personal values.
Kristin’s approach utilizes a variety of treatment modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. She enjoys working with individuals as well as families across the lifespan. She also provides psychological testing to clarify a diagnosis of ADHD in children and to illuminate personality dynamics for adolescents and adults.
In her spare time Kristin enjoys creating through various forms of artwork, such as painting and photography. She also likes to travel, renovate her home, and spend time with her friends, family and two mischievous goldendoodles.
Kristin is accepting new clients for appointments between 9am - 3pm Monday through Thursday.
