Kristine Crowley, LSW

In addition to her work with OCD & Anxiety Specialist, LLC, Kristine serves as a school social worker, supporting middle and high school students through individual and group counseling. She is passionate about creating a warm, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life's challenges.
