Kristin Martin-Cook, M.S.

Clinical Practice Manager
Department of Psychiatry

First UTSW job: Research Assistant.

Best part about my job: Working together as part of a team to help patients get the care they need. Although I miss working with patients directly, I appreciate being involved with the operation of the Psychiatry Clinic that offers compassionate care to so many.

What energizes me at work: Pulling the team together to find solutions to problems that impact patients and clinicians.

How co-workers describe me: Committed, passionate, and persevering.

Recipe for success: Resilience – being able to stare down a difficult situation or challenge, learn from it, and work to find solutions to overcome it.

I’m really good at: Problem-solving.

Passion: Spending time with my sons, doing just about anything, is how I most like to spend my time.

Final note: I’ve been involved in all three UT Southwestern missions: I attended graduate school here, worked in research for more than half of my career, and am now involved in patient care. I am so thankful for the time I’ve spent here, and for the many experiences and people who have made a huge impact on my life, both professionally and personally.
