# Kristina Meyers

LMSW

I recently moved to Illinois from Michigan where I lived for most of my life. I have experience as a foster care worker, school based mental health specialist, school guidance counselor and currently as a Military and Family Life Counselor. I enjoy seeing kids and their families grow and change.
