About
Little Dove Consulting PLLC
About Dr. Kristin Kroll
As a mom and psychologist, I focus upon two main factors when providing care: 1) utilizing the most evidence-based assessments and protocols specific to each patient's concerns and 2) tailoring treatment goals collaboratively to align this with each family's unique values, beliefs, and culture. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible, given that I am aware that every single patient is someone's loved one. Just as I want my loved ones to be treated by a provider with expertise, kindness, and compassion, I also believe it is my duty to provide this same level of care.
Before starting Little Dove Consulting PLLC, I was an assistant professor for the Medical College of Wisconsin and a psychologist for Children's Wisconsin. My experiences in research at both of these beautiful institutions cemented my practice of grounding my clinical work in the most up-to-date medical best practices. I am thankful to the patients of these organizations for allowing me to share their journey in improving the quality of life for themselves and their families.
I enjoy working with all the mental health concerns and stressful transitions experienced by families. The care can range from helping children with social anxiety or a teenager struggling with depression and rebellious behavior to a parent struggling with ineffective parenting practices. In addition to my experience in these areas, my training and experiences have also allowed me to specialize in working with families of children with medical concerns.
