Christina Schiavone
I have been practicing therapy for 25 years and enjoy working with adults. I pull from several different theories and practices so my approach can work with all clients. I believe in starting where the client is and working from there for succcessful therapy. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and many other conditions that my be affecting clients.
First session
Our first session will be an assessment where we will get to know each other to see if we are a good fit. I want my clients to feel comfortable with me and understand not every clinician and client will be a match.
Strengths
I worked for several years in substance abuse so I feel comfortable treating clients who are struggling with this issue. In session, I am comfortable with whatever the client needs whether that is holding space or challenging them.
Ideal clients
I want to work with clients who are willing to make some changes in their lives to be successful and feel great. These don't have to be huge changes- just small steps in the right direction. I like to work with clients who set reasonable goals for themselves for the ultimate success. It is important to me that clients feel comfortable with me and trust me to help them reach their goals.
Treatment methods
Compassion-Focused
I use many modalities of therapy approaches but I believe in being compassionate towards my clients.
