My mission is eliminating your problematic symptoms. We will work together to help you feel better when you are struggling and need medication and therapy. Let me help with PTSD, grief, anxiety, ADHD, depression, the co-morbid psychiatric symptoms of chronic illness and autoimmune conditions. Let's work to ease the psychiatric symptoms that can emerge for women during times of hormonal changes. We can find solutions for the neuropsychiatric symptoms of POTS and other autonomic nervous system dysfunction/dysautonomia. I have plenty of videos on social media; take a look and see if any speak to you.
Everyone is different and I tailor my methods to each individual. Clients can expect to be listened to in a non-judgmental manner. I prefer to listen rather than talk. I will ask questions when I need clarification about you or the issue you are discussing.
Flexibility, empathy, and compassionate honesty are my super powers. Empowering the people I work with is my greatest strength as a provider. Easing your symptoms is my mission. Find me on social media and my website - Pots NP T I am happy to work with you for medication management or therapy, I enjoy working on both with a client.
I invite you to reach out to see if I can help you navigate the complicated, serious issues you are struggling with. I strongly, STRONGLY, encourage all new clients to check Grow's insurance estimator tool before booking if you have ANY concerns about cost. I do not want financial worries to detract from your experience. https://growtherapy.com/cost-estimate

Supportive
I use this method with everyone in my practice unless they specifically want medication management only.
Eclectic
This is the most likely approach I will use. When a technique works for you, we keep it. When it doesn't, we let it go.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I would prefer that everyone use this approach. However, it can be especially beneficial for patients with chronic illness.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I generally focus on supportive and cognitive behavioral therapy for brief, medication management sessions.
Motivational Interviewing
I generally focus on this therapy for clients struggling with making changes and/or substance abuse or weight management issues.

I feel empowered after my first session with Christene Tena McLarty. She listened thoughtfully to my point of view. She weighed in with me for my perspective on treatment options. She gave me time and space to share my story in a way that didn't feel rushed. Last but not least, her experience and depth of knowledge exceeded my expectation- very few practitioners understand the nuances of my complex medical history. I feel so lucky and relieved that I found her!
