Kristin Van Der Poel

Hi, I’m Kristin van der Poel, Licensed and Board Certified Counselor and Founder of Venture Into Connection, my private practice. I started my venture into understanding the mind and relationships as an undergraduate at the University of Colorado in Boulder where I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a minor in Women’s Studies. My time spent at the university, and continued interest in psychology, sparked over a decade of work in the human services and mental health fields before deciding to continue on to get my Master’s Degree in Counseling. I joined the Couples and Family Track at the University of Colorado in Denver to get a better understanding of how couple and family systems work, and how to help dismantle them when these systems get “stuck.” My devotion for this field and helping couples, individuals, and families find their way has only grown stronger over the years. I love the work that I do!

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-focused, culturally inclusive model to help restore, and reawaken individual, couple, and family relationships.

My hope is that as we go along, and certainly by the end of our work together, you will feel closer and more connected to yourself, and your most important relationships.
