Dr. Kristin Davin, or Dr. D as she is referred to, is a Clinical Psychologist specializing in marriage, divorce, dating and relationships. She helps people build better relationships, whether it’s with their spouse, partner, children, siblings, parents, coworkers or friends. As social creatures, we thrive on healthy relationships. They make us feel more human, more connected. They help define who we are and the life we create for ourselves. And the connection that we feel with one another makes us feel connected and safe in this big world we live in - without them we feel disconnected, lost and alone.
She has been described as a 'straight shooter', yet honest, compassionate, and present. Her approach is engaging, open and collaborative - with a touch of humor (obviously critical!). She believes in focusing on the solution, not the problem. She looks for strengths in every person and couple - because we ALL have them - and helps people learn how to see problems with different lenses so they can create solutions. Kristin facilitates communication strategies so they can work through their impasses and find better solutions. She helps couples overcome challenges, rekindle romances, and get their relationships back on track. Her approach is integrative, using Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy skills and strategies.
Seeking help isn't always easy - but Kristin has found that people do so because they realize that it's necessary. They recognize that they need a way out of the point they’re currently at. Although their friends and family provide support and guidance, they know it’s not enough anymore - something changed. They have experienced a 'tipping point' and need to pivot. That’s where a therapist comes in. Despite being a little apprehensive, every person knows that. And that's how Kristin helps people every day. Stuck, disillusioned by life, or troubled by current relationships - she’s here.
As she moves into her 14th year of practice, the need to feel connected, have healthy relationships, and help people find purpose in their lives is as strong as ever. Kristin moved to NYC four years ago and had to start over. Re-establishing a practice, finding friends, making time for family and finding love was a struggle with such a major life transition. When she works with people who are feeling overwhelmed and need healthy relationships and balance in their life - she gets it.
