Getting to know Kristen O'Dwyer
Hi, I'm Kristen-Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 12 years of experience supporting high-achieving women and young professionals who are navigating burnout, career transitions, and the pressure to “hold it all together.”
Many of my clients are driven, capable, and successful on paper-but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from the life they've built. They're often at a turning point: ready to pivot careers, grow a business, or redefine what success actually means for them.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and results-oriented. I combine evidence-based therapy with practical strategy to help you regulate stress, gain clarity, and make confident, aligned decisions-without spending years in therapy. This work is about more than insight; it's about creating real momentum in your life and career.
You can expect a space where you're both supported and challenged-where you don't have to perform, but you also won't stay stuck. Together, we'll move you out of burnout and into a more grounded, intentional way of living and working.
For those who value faith as part of their healing, I also offer a nondenominational, faith-integrated approach rooted in compassion, purpose, and spiritual alignment.
Whether you're building something new, questioning your next move, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again-this is a space to reset, realign, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Kristen in very intelligent with a clear grasp of the modalities she applies in session. She is very easy to talk to, compassionate, and non-judgmental. She also provides resources and skills to use in between sessions. She is an excellent therapist!

She is methodical and compassionate. Objective, almost to a fault. I wish she were a little less cautious and more challenging.
