Kristin Stanley is a certified social worker who received degrees from BYU and UVU before completing her Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. She enjoys doing a variety of therapy, but she specializes in chronic illness, self-esteem issues and grief. She is passionate about helping those who are dealing with physical problems or life stresses to feel better both in body and mind. With physical illness comes mental stress and vice versa. Kristin uses a combination of ACT, CBT, self-compassion, radical acceptance, and other techniques with a wide range of clients and issues. She enjoys working with those who often feel marginalized by society, particularly around issues of gender and sexual identity. She has a passion for helping people to accept themselves while working on improvement at the same time and knows this can be a delicate balance.

Kristin has been an instructor at UVU since 2014. She has taught human development and sexuality courses along with others and has an understanding that there are unique opportunities for growth and struggles at any age or stage of life we might be in. Kristin is married with four kids who are all grown. Outside of work, she likes to exercise, read,watch movies, play games and go on vacation with her family. 

Kristin sees clients in person at the Pleasant Grove and Spanish Fork offices, as well as via telehealth with clients throughout UT.
