Hello, My name is Christina Phillips. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I approach therapy as a journey together, in which we get to grow. I have special experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults.
My approach
I have experience doing individual and family therapy. I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and Strategic Family Therapy.
My focus
I have a wider range of experience, but I have specifically treated Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
My communication style
I like to let the sessions be led by the client, focusing on their interests. I like to focus on the strengths of the client. After every session, I want my clients to clearly know what we are working on together and have an action plan to accomplish the client's goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became attracted to therapy as a profession because I feel I have valuable knowledge and experience when it comes to living with mental health conditions. I want my clients to feel like there is someone here who will support them. I want to help people make positive changes in their lives.
My goals for you
I want to assist the client with setting goals that are meaningful and relevant to their lives. I want to help the client to break big goals into smaller, attainable goals to work towards.
My first session with you
During the first session, I want to make my clients feel safe and free to share as much or as little as they like. I want to focus on building the therapeutic relationship with my clients.
