Dr, K in 3 words: Insightful, Innovative, Impactful
Change is a practice, not a concept.
Dr. Kristine Schlichting, PHD, is the Director of Hopewell Health Solutions and a Licensed Psychologist fusing together the principles of psychology, transformation, motivation, coaching, and wellness. She earned her doctorate and masters’ in psychology at the University of Connecticut and received an additional master’s in counseling at the University of Wisconsin- Madison.
Over the past ten years, Dr. Schlichting has “broken the box” of traditional talk therapy to develop a new model for change which is based on recent developments in neuroscience. Therapy at HHS is active, dynamic, and collaborative; this therapy requires discipline, practice, and teaming with the client. Guiding her staff in this treatment ensures that every HHS therapist’s work is rooted in this practice.
Dr. Schlichting has conducted research in the areas of anxiety, group dynamics, and video self-modeling. Her innovative research has been published in various articles and books. Her most recent book was published in 2018, “The Parenting Project.” Dr. Schlichting is always looking for new opportunities to put mental health on the forefront – including co-locating her therapists in doctor’s offices, providing telehealth, providing therapy in natural settings (home, office, or school), and using technology to help patients.
