Hi, I’m Kristen Pawcio, a clinical counseling intern at Preferred Care Counseling. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Kent State University (2004) and earned my first master’s degree from Youngstown State University in 2015. With a background in social services and case management, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through various life challenges. Currently, I’m pursuing a second master’s degree in clinical counseling through the University of Phoenix, as I work toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I’m grateful for the opportunity to complete my internship with Preferred Care Counseling and to support clients on their journey to healing and personal growth. I enjoy working with individuals ages 12 and up and have a special passion for helping those dealing with grief and trauma. You can find Kristen at our Canfield Office.
