Kristen Verge
I’m a licensed psychotherapist in the Hudson Valley offering individual therapy to adolescents and adults.
I’m a graduate of NYU’s Master of Social Work program and I completed post-grad training at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychotherapy, Psychiatry, and Psychology.
I have experience treating individuals with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, divorce, domestic abuse and domestic violence histories, grief, OCD, pregnancy (prenatal and postpartum), relationship issues, self esteem issues, sexual abuse, stress, gender identity (including non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals), trauma and PTSD, and women's issues.
My areas of focus in therapy include endings in relationships, empowerment, and sex and sexuality.
I specialize in therapy with LGBTQIA+ and TGNC folx.
I was recognized as Therapist of the Year at Cornerstone Family Healthcare in 2019. I was the recipient of the Innovation in Social Work Practice Award from NYU in 2015.
