Kristina Sawetz-Glasener
Introduction
With over 15 years of experience in outpatient, school and community mental health settings, I utilize my experience and specialized training in Expressive Therapies and Play Therapy to help clients reach their personal goals while feeling heard and understood along the way. Whether I am working with adults or children, I often find that using alternative methods in addition to traditional talk therapy can help build a trusting therapeutic connection, allow for emotional expression, give insight into complex and confusing feelings, and make space for one's own inner wisdom to emerge. Within a playful environment, clients can pretend, draw, write, make music, or use the sandtray, sometimes all within one session! ...Because sometimes LIFE is just too big for words. I hold a PhD from Lesley University in Expressive Therapies. My doctoral research focused on the use of play and art with siblings of children with cancer, and I am uniquely suited to work with families facing cancer. I am also licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Virginia and am a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S) through the Association for Play Therapy. In addition to therapy, I am also able to provide supervision to those obtaining their LCSW and/or RPT.
