Hi. I'm Kristin MacDermott, LMFT. I've spent the last 20 years researching and teaching resilience.

​

My resilience-training curriculum has been validated in multiple studies by researchers at the Duke Clinical Research Institute, published in peer-reviewed journals, and proven to promote clinically significant improvement in distress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and self-efficacy.

 

I have designed resilience-training programs for some of the highest-performing people on the planet, including Navy SEALs, LAPD officers, the National Guard, the Veteran's Administration,  oncology nurses and other healthcare providers, as well as people navigating the challenges of cancer, type I diabetes and end-of-life at over 20 hospitals across the country, including Duke Health, and The National Institutes of Health.

 

Now I'm focused on bringing these life-changing skills to pre-teens and teens, because if they can learn them young, it sets them up for the rest of their lives.​

​

I am also passionate about helping parents of teens and tweens!
