Ms. Kristen Willets

ESS Clinician

I am a graduate of CCSU with a Bachelors in Psychology and of University of St. Joseph with a Masters in Social Work. I have worked with children/teens for the past 13 years, the last 5 years as a clinical social worker. I have worked in a variety of settings including residential placement within the juvenile justice system, case management in a local hospital and most recently as a school mental health clinician with a focus on supporting families through transitions, challenges and growth. I like to partner closely with students, family, and school staff to create a safe and inclusive environment students can thrive in. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family, coaching youth sports, doing crossfit, and crafting. "Mental Health problems don't define who you are. They are something you experience.
