New to Grow
My name is Christen Yassin and I have been in this field for 18 years. I have a wealth of experience and love to help people become their best selves. I am a great listener. A great listener requires you to not only listen but to be able to output a great solution to the problem and to be highly empathetic to the issue; that's one of my strengths. I also have a lot of experience in family therapy and working with children and young adults.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I ask a lot of questions because I am interested in getting to know you. I am also interested in how you got on and to your current journey.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am looking to help people become their best selves. I am interested in families healing. I am interested in people exploring their new selves/ventures that life brings; I am interested in children being happy in spite of disabilities and/or challenges. My hope is that people come out of therapy being their best selves and feeling transformed.
Attachment-based
I use this treatment to help people understand their birth story and how the attachment process has effected who they are today; and the problems they face today.
Family Therapy
I use this practice in helping the family identify the areas of struggle and not just identifying on person or one thing to be the problem, but looking at the problem wholistically.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
I help parents understand their child while giving them the psychoeducation about parenting especially if they are parenting a neurodivergent child. I help them build a better foundation so that their relationship improves.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this therapy to help individuals understand their thoughts in order to think about new ways to change them.
Couples Counseling
I help couples understand where their issues are in order to make change(s) to their relationship. I do pre-martial, marital counseling. I also enjoy doing divorce and separation counseling.
