I’m really excited to announce that Kristin Vitko is joining my practice. I’m very impressed with Kristin, including her professional experience, her interpersonal abilities, and her therapeutic approach and areas of expertise. I believe she’ll be a tremendous addition to my practice and that she and I will work together in a very complementary manner. I think she will also be a valuable addition to the therapeutic community in the Triangle area.
I hope that you will all consider her when you are looking for appropriate referrals for your clientele, particularly in her areas of expertise outlined below:
Kristin Vitko is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in Expressive Arts Therapy with children, adolescents, and families. Kristin is talented and passionate about creating opportunities for clients to cultivate their unique selves and increase their quality of life.
She integrates directive and nondirective play therapy techniques for children ages two through twelve, focusing on issues of attachment, adoption, developmental delays, issues related to autistic spectrum disorders, anger and anxiety management, and many other emotional and behavioral patterns.
Using expressive arts techniques, including visual art, drama, and journaling, Kristin works with adolescents to support identity development, build social skills, develop mood management strategies, and strengthen family relationships. In addition to her individual work, Kristin also facilitates expressive arts groups for children and adolescents allowing clients to work with peers in order to practice social skills, develop creative thinking, and cultivate positive self-regard.
Kristin believes in working with the whole family and encourages parent and sibling involvement in family therapy. She considers it an essential goal for parents to expand their parenting skills and strengthen co-parenting collaboration. Meeting with parents and siblings in addition to individual work with one family member allows the whole family to grow together.
