Mr. President, along with my colleague Senator Mike Crapo, we join in honoring Dr. Kristina Sawetz-Glasener, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, for her devotion in serving children and families across the Washington, DC, area. We thank her for facilitating a hands-on interactive session with the Senate Moms group.
Dr. Kristina Sawetz-Glasener is the owner of her own private practice, the Creative Counseling Center of Northern Virginia, LLC. She simultaneously serves the community by working on grant-funded initiatives in preschools and nonprofits. Dr. Kristina is the NOVA Regional co-chair for the Virginia Association for Play Therapy and was awarded the 2026 Play Therapist of the Year by the Virginia Association for Play Therapy.
With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Kristina has continually dedicated herself to the community by providing invaluable mental health services to children and families. She earned her doctorate from Lesley University in expressive therapies, and her doctoral research utilized sandtray and creative arts to aid siblings of children with cancer in communicating their lived experience. Dr. Kristina is a mother of two and understands the demands impressed upon working mothers.
200 moms employed by the U.S. Senate. The group's regular meetings and internal resources in the Senate help working moms feel united and supported in navigating the Senate workplace and raising children in the Washington, DC, area.
Thank you, Dr. Kristina, for your inspiring work to ground and connect them to what truly matters by exploring their experiences as working mothers. You have set an excellent example for the many moms who help keep the U.S. Senate functioning day-to-day. We wish you the best in all the future offers you.
