Dr. Kriegshauser received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Saint Louis University, where she received broad clinical training but focused her clinical and research experiences on anxiety disorders.

Dr. Kriegshauser’s clinical interests have focused on evidence-based treatments for anxiety, OCD, and associated health conditions in early adolescence through adults—including the treatment of eating disorders, insomnia, and broader executive functioning challenges. Her research interests and publications have included experimental psychopathology paradigms for anxiety, examination of factors contributing to effective treatment delivery and outcomes, and the impact of novel technologies in healthcare.

Dr. Kriegshauser is licensed in Kansas and Missouri, and holds a PSYPACT E. Passport, allowing her to practice telehealth in states participating in PSYPACT. All KCCAT team members are able to practice in Kansas and Missouri.
