Hi! I am Christiana, a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with adolescents, teenagers, and adults who are experiencing symptoms associated with anxiety and depression. My expertise lies specifically in treating high achieving individuals navigating the pressure and expectation of continued success. I have also worked to assist those that have a complex relationship with diet and exercise, and the impact that this relationship has on an individual’s self esteem and sense of worth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I am looking to build comfortability between the two of us. I understand we will probably cover a wide range of different topics since there is immense history to all of us. All I want to know is, what made you decide to engage in therapy? What was the catalyst? I look at it as two humans navigating life circumstances, with the cool exception that the focus is on you and your healing journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe that one of my greatest strengths in providing treatment is the focus on the quality of the relationship between client and myself, the provider, as well as bringing a spiritual approach to my therapeutic style. We are "fellow travelers," and I believe that there is something to learn from my client, as I hope to help facilitate your journey in healing and growth.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am open to working with any individual who is eager to begin the healing process and journey. I primarily have most of my experience in young adults, both male and female, and have a lot of experience working with those going through life transitions, navigating shifting identities, anxiety, eating disorders/body dysmorphia, and athletics.
