Testimonials

"I am a primary care provider in [Rhode Island] and, like many providers, feel the stress of caring for patients, running a business, managing a family and doing it all with a smile. Needless to say, it is an unrealistic expectation from a career that can sometimes take more than it gives. Working with Dr. David over the years has been instrumental in helping me cut through the noise and admit that burnout is real and not only affects the way we care for people but ultimately takes away the part of us that matters most. Dr. David has worked in primary care practices and has a unique perspective of what providers deal with day in and day out, a perspective that she has used to support, validate and encourage me to ever consider that greatest of provider taboos, “I matter too”. Wonderfully compassionate, direct and knowledgeable I am incredibly grateful for her gentle care and wisdom in these ongoing and difficult times."

"My time with Kristin has been filled with smiles, positivity, and growth. Kristin’s outlooks on life and her ability to guide/support during sessions were so eye opening. Dr. David's finesse, expertise, and ease working though challenging circumstances made a huge impact on my growth and ability to gain new perspectives. Kristin saw potential and made sure [we] could see it in ourselves as well. Kristin empowered me to do my best and challenged me to be my best. Her

ability to keep me accountable, motivated, and reassured of my potential were all a part of the recipe for success I will take with me to every future challenge I undertake. Working with Kristin is a pleasure and has forever made a positive

impact on my development."

"I have known Dr. Kristin David, PsyD. for over 10 years. We have collaborated together for over 6 years co-facilitating a group therapy program. Her work with clients is based on a firm grasp of dynamics at play and good judgment. I trust and have learned a great deal from her clinical skills and insights. She is also incredibly enjoyable and fun to work with because she has a great sense of humor and wit. She’s just plain smart, grounded in knowledge and in herself—she’s a joy to work with." ~Martha Powers, LICSW

"I have known Dr. Kristin David for more than 15 years. Kristin is among the most intelligent, compassionate, and ethical people I have worked with in any capacity in any field of work. She is very skillful one to one with a client as a coach and has a unique ability to hold the "big picture" in an accessible place for the person with who she might be talking with about the smallest, most intimate details of their lives. Kristin is a systems thinker. She is able to think very broadly from a personal, local level to the broadest iteration of any system that she is working to support from within or without. She is empathic and gentle without fail and listens in a deep, meaningful way that is without equal in my time working with her. She is kind and a great practitioner who loves her world and her work with great enthusiasm. It is my great good fortune to know her."
