Kristen Van de Riet is a licensed clinical social worker and the program manager for Chesterfield County’s adult substance use services team. Kristen has a strong desire to eliminate the stigma associated with substance misuse and mental health and to meet people where they are in their journey to recovery, however that may look for them in this moment. In her role as manager, she is fortunate each day to observe a team filled with compassion, heart, innovation and drive as they impact the lives of those they serve. While she is passionate about her work, she also enjoys shutting her computer down each day and giving her full heart and attention to the silliest kiddo who keeps her laughing even on those really hard days.
