KRISTEN WYNNS, Ph.D.
Dr. Kristen Wynns, founder and owner of Wynns Family Psychology, is a
therapy
and
testing
specialist for children, adolescents, and families. She holds a Doctorate and Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and is a Licensed Psychologist. Dr. Wynns has extensive experience in conducting a full spectrum of psychoeducational (academic) and psychological evaluations, to include child assessments for
Autism,
(ADHD) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,
Academically Gifted (AG), kids' Intelligent Quotient (I Q),
Kindergarten Readiness,
and
(LD) Learning Disabilities.
Dr. Wynns is experienced in individual, family, group, play, and couples therapy. She has worked with children and teenagers with a variety of common issues such as dealing with divorce,
Asperger's Syndrome,
Autism,
Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD),
ADHD,
behavior problems, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), social problems, Bipolar Disorder, depression, anxiety, phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and family & school difficulties. She also works with preschoolers and toddlers, helping them deal with sleep issues, eating problems, behavior problems, and fears. Parents and families are frequently integrated into the therapy process, especially when dealing with effective discipline techniques for children. Dr. Wynns runs
social skills groups
on a regular basis for children who have difficulty making friends, connecting to peer groups, or handling anger and frustration appropriately.
Passionate about working with kids and teens, her
therapy
and
evaluation services
are customized to fit each client's particular needs. Dr. Wynns is married with two children and understands how challenging parenting can be. So rather than focusing on "fixing" a child, her goals are to help reduce stress associated with emotional and behavioral problems, provide environments in which children can feel comfortable and receptive, and establish strategies that foster more adaptive daily functioning.
Prior to working in private practice in Cary, NC, Dr. Wynns worked at UNC-Chapel Hill's Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center, an
Autism
group home, child and family services center, and in-patient adolescent unit. Dr. Wynns also trained at an
AD/HD
specialty clinic with Dr. Arthur Anastopoulous, one of the nation's leading experts on
ADHD.
She has led a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists conducting evaluations of preschool children for NC Wake County Public Schools (WCPSS).
