Kristin Moen | DNP, PMNHP
Kristin Moen returned to college in her 40s after working as a case manager in a community mental health setting. She was inspired to advance her education to maximize her ability to provide evidence based compassionate care. Kristin attended OHSU, first earning a nursing degree followed by the doctorate of nursing practice (DNP) specializing in psychiatry.
Kristin’s treatment philosophy strongly incorporates trauma-informed care along with healing-centered engagement, using evidence-based assessment and diagnostic tools in her expert evaluation. Treating individuals with dignity is a top priority and Kristin collaborates with each individual in order to hear and understand their priorities. This shared decision making approach and respecting the individual as the expert in their own experience allows for a productive partnership and a customized treatment plan. Additionally, Kristin is aware of the cultural differences and needs of individuals; cultural humility informs her excellent provision of care.
Kristin is skilled in medication management and combines this with other modalities of treatment, specialized to the individual. These may include, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), psychotherapy, and therapy informed by the 12 step model for codependency.
While some providers focus on medication management only, Kristin looks at the bigger picture that often includes therapy, sleep, nutrition, movement, and social engagement.
Kristin sees people with a range of mental health challenges, including C-PTSD, all forms of anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, and neurodivergent issues such as ADHD. She sees people as young as 6 years old, and throughout the lifespan.
Kristin wants to welcome you on your journey of wellness, and looks forward to joining with you, and supporting you along the way.
