Christina Dawn Nelson
Do you find it difficult to offer yourself the same kindness, compassion, and grace you would to a friend or loved one? Do you have a hard time regulating your emotions and embodying challenging emotions? I am a digital nomad with a telehealth practice.
My counseling style is authentic, integrative, holistic, supportive, genuine, kind, compassionate, perceptive, and curious.
I believe therapy is a sacred space, and I'm honored to share it with you.
First session
During the intake process, we will review your background, your treatment goals, and assess whether we would be a good fit to work together. Following, we can create a strategy together that moves you towards creating a life that you love.
Strengths
I practice from a place of authenticity and curiosity. My style is empowering, warm, and humorous. My vibe is casual and lighthearted.
Ideal clients
I focus primarily on the intersection of neurodivergence and complex trauma in late-diagnosed AuDHD women. 30's and 40's is a demanding season, and there are many life transitions and identity shifts to explore. Adulting can be a busy phase of life where extra support, compassion, and care are critical. My wish is for you to not only survive, but thrive through developing your own rituals and routines.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We will explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors all impact one another, and how making change in any one of those areas can create a snowball effect in the others. I may highlight where you may benefit from more self care and self compassion.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
We will explore how distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness may aid in your ability to do hard things and face obstacles in life, while gently fostering your ability to navigate challenging situations with resilience, authenticity, confidence, creativity, and connection.
