Kristin PleinesClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, DSW (she, her)

About

I'm an LCSW practicing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and my office is conveniently located three blocks from the Bedford L stop. I'm psychodynamically oriented, and I specialize in anxiety, play therapy, trauma, animal-assisted therapy, and attachment. I enjoy helping families to strengthen relationships. Play is a child's natural way of communicating, and thus is the perfect tool for therapy with young children. I often work with older children, teens, and adults as well, and tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of each person I work with. View 12 Photos I have training specific to anxiety, trauma, grief, and loss. I provide animal-assisted therapy on Mondays with Eleanor (Bernedoodle) and Wednesdays with Edie (Newfydoodle). When working with children, I understand the importance of including caregivers in a child's therapy, and will include you every step of the way.
