Understanding Your Journey and Supporting Your Growth
ABOUT KWD WELLNESS
My approach is centered around you and your experiences. I believe in the power of compassionate care and personalized therapy to help you navigate the emotional complexities of your profession. With KWD Wellness, you’ll find a therapist who truly understands the demands of your role and is committed to supporting your journey toward healing and resilience.
I know that being a healthcare or mental health professional comes with immense responsibility and emotional weight.
When the pressure builds, when your values feel stretched thin, or when you are quietly questioning what comes next, it can be hard to slow down long enough to sort through it.
At KWD Wellness, I offer grounded, mindfulness informed therapy for professionals navigating workplace stress, ethical tension, and career uncertainty. This is a space to reflect without pressure, think clearly, and consider what sustainable practice looks like for you.
About Kristin Whiting-Davis, LCSW-C, LICSW, LCSW
As a licensed clinical social worker and behavioral health leader, I offer over 25 years of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and ages. I am also a board approved clinical supervisor in DC, Maryland and Virginia. With extensive training in evidence-based therapies, I help individuals on their journey to growth and healing by offering compassionate, expert care tailored to your unique challenges.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and board approved clinical supervisor with over 25 years of experience across healthcare systems of care. My work has included clinical practice, leadership, supervision, and program development within hospitals, community mental health, and group practice settings.
I understand the realities of working inside complex systems. I know what it means to carry responsibility, navigate ethical tension, and hold steady for others while quietly questioning your own sustainability.
Today, I specialize in therapy for healthcare and mental health professionals navigating workplace stress, moral strain, and career transitions. My approach is grounded in trauma informed mindfulness and centers reflection, awareness, and thoughtful decision making at a pace that respects your nervous system.
Clients often tell me they feel understood quickly. I listen closely, ask direct questions, and create space to slow down without pressure to fix or rush.
Outside of my work, I am deeply connected to nature. Time in forests, near water, and in wide open landscapes continues to inform how I think about steadiness, perspective, and renewal. That orientation carries into the therapy room.
You spend your days holding space for others. Here, you do not have to do that alone.
MY BACKGROUND
Over 25 years of experience across clinical practice, supervision, and leadership.
-
My work is grounded in evidence based therapies and delivered through a trauma informed, mindfulness oriented lens. I draw from:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, MBCTRather than applying techniques mechanically, I integrate these approaches in a way that fits your professional context, nervous system, and goals. The focus is not on rigid protocol, but on thoughtful application.
I also bring a multicultural lens to our work, attending to the ways identity, systems, power, and lived experience shape both stress and meaning.
