Kristine Stangle, CMH-I

My Statement:

Life is a winding journey with ups, downs, and detours that can feel overwhelming, leaving you stuck, guilty, or hopeless. Therapy offers a judgment-free space to process emotions, gain clarity, and reframe negative thoughts. You are more than your struggles—when you're ready, let’s talk.

Experience and Education:

Kristine is a master’s-level Clinical Mental Health (CMH) intern at Bradley University in Illinois. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale in 1997. After graduating, she moved to Florida, where she worked as a Juvenile Probation Officer until the birth of her first son in 2004.

Since then, Kristine has dedicated herself to raising her two sons while also working as a substitute teacher. As a mother and caregiver, she deeply understands the unique challenges faced by stay-at-home parents, particularly those caring for loved ones with disabilities—an experience shaped by her oldest son’s diagnosis of Williams Syndrome.

Kristine primarily utilizes Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to support adults feeling “stuck,” overwhelmed new mothers, caregivers of loved ones with disabilities, and women navigating the menopausal stages of life. She is passionate about helping others recognize they are not alone and empowering them with healthier coping strategies to manage life’s complexities.
