My name is Christa Christine and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I earned my Master’s degree from California State University Northridge, and have 12 years of experience working with individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful change. I am excited to begin our journey together. My approach is rooted in exploring each client's unique experiences and providing evidence-based interventions that promote healing and growth. I believe in working alongside individuals and couples to help them uncover unconscious patterns and attachment wounds that may be getting in the way of them leading healthier, more fulfilling, and authentic lives. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space for you to process your feelings while ensuring you feel secure within our teletherapy environment. You are the expert on your life, and your personal goals have value and will guide our treatment plan.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your first session with me is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust and understanding. During this session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your goals, and identify any specific challenges you’d like to address. I will ask questions to better understand your background, experiences, and what’s important to you. This is also your chance to ask questions about my approach and share any concerns or expectations you have for therapy. Together, we’ll begin creating a personalized plan to guide our work and ensure it aligns with your unique needs. The first session is about creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to start your journey toward growth and healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, my greatest strengths are my deep empathy, commitment to creating a safe and nonjudgmental space, and my ability to connect with clients in a meaningful way. I bring a collaborative approach to therapy, respecting your expertise on your own life while guiding you through proven, evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs. I am passionate about helping clients explore their emotions and challenges, while focusing on their strengths and resilience. My years of experience have taught me the importance of adapting to each client’s pace and goals, ensuring that therapy feels both supportive and empowering. My dedication to your growth, well-being, and healing is at the core of every interaction we have.
