Kristen Wojtuniak

Kristen Wojtuniak is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York with eight years of professional experience. She has worked with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, difficulties with life transitions, communication challenges, obsessive compulsive disorders, body dysmorphia, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and chronic illness.

Kristen brings warmth, compassion, and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship, creating a supportive and non-judgmental space for clients. She specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using that approach to reduce stress, shift negative thinking patterns, and encourage clients to take an active role in their care while building healthier coping strategies.

Her practice emphasizes practical tools such as positive mantras and constructive thinking to foster a more productive and balanced daily life. Kristen helps clients increase self-compassion and mindfulness, develop greater tolerance for uncertainty, and attend to uncomfortable feelings and bodily sensations with curiosity rather than avoidance.

In therapy with Kristen, clients work to identify and challenge negative core beliefs that affect mood, learn to assert feelings and set appropriate boundaries, and explore how shame and guilt may be contributing to unhelpful or inauthentic behaviors. She values small, meaningful changes and aims to help people recognize strengths they may not see in themselves.

Her availability is tailored to stay-at-home parents, college students, and people who work from home or can use a lunch break for sessions. Kristen looks forward to meeting prospective clients and supporting them as they begin their therapeutic journey.
