Meet Therapy Provider Kirsten

To get the best results from your therapy experience, you must feel comfortable with your provider. You want a therapist who can provide a safe space to share your most personal details. And, someone you respect as they make suggestions and guide you towards healing.

We understand this at CW Psychological Services in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. That is why we have asked our newest providers to share some personal details about themselves. We want you to get to know them as people, just as they will get to know you.

CW Psychological Services welcomes Associate-Level Therapist Kirsten Newlin, M.A., NCC, and Pre-Licensed Therapist Robbie Hazard, M.A., to our growing team. Here is more about them:

Kirsten Newlin M.A., NCC

Associate Level Therapist

Pronouns: She/Her

What drew you to the therapy profession?

I always knew I wanted to help others but was unsure about the route. I wasn’t cut out to be a nurse or a doctor. During my middle and high school years, I experienced a lot of trauma and loss. I went through therapy to help me heal from my experiences. My favorite saying to my therapist was “You do not understand how I am feeling nor what I went through.” Seeing her patience and desire to understand my pain, was healing in its own way. She was an unbiased person who listened to me. After my successful therapy experience, I knew how I wanted to help others.

What is your favorite thing about being a therapist?

I am meeting new people and hearing their stories.

What makes you unique as a therapist?

My ability to use my accepting personality to connect with my clients no matter how different our experiences and backgrounds are. I am flexible with my approaches to individualize the therapeutic experience for each client.

How would you describe your therapeutic approach?

Dependent on the client’s needs and goals from treatment. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, etc. I also understand those approaches are not a good fit for everyone and will customize treatment to fit the needs of my clients.

Everyone needs self-care. How do you practice self-care?

I like to nap with my dog Mac, cook, read, and watch reality TV to unwind and destress.

What is one thing that is important for anyone to know as they travel through life?

We are our biggest critics. Have grace with yourself.

What’s most important to you?

My family and friends.
