Dr. Kristine Schlichting, PhD

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.

    In the first session, I was given ideas and solutions that worked immediately. My son's anxiety and obsessions have been decreasing each day and, in a week, they were gone. I feel like my son was back to being happy.

    I am forty years old; a wife, mom, and was a lawyer for a billion dollar company. I was burning the candle from both ends and melting down physically and mentally. Dr. K gave me the tools I needed to get back on track. I learned how to manage my stress and learn to take care of myself. After a year in therapy, I am eating healthier, taking my vitamins, exercising, sleeping better, and taking time for myself. Thanks Dr. K — you are the best!

    I have been living with anxiety my whole life and I was tired of it. After trying many other therapies, I found Dr. K and I am now learning to 'retrain my brain.' Finally, I am living an easier, less stressful life.

    Dr. K has made a huge difference for my daughter. She has advocated at the school to get her the support she needed and she has taught her and our whole family to deal with stress very differently. I can't thank her enough.
