Christine Frances, LMFT, LPC, LMHC

EMDRIA Certified Therapist specializing in treatment of trauma and abusive experiences

All appointments are via telehealth. My psycho-therapy style can be described as integrative and holistic, that is, I blend elements from different psychotherapeutic approaches and explore spiritual resources to address change and bring about increased well-being, based on your needs. Core components of my therapeutic approach include cognitive behavioral interventions, psychoeducation on assertive communication, art and play therapy techniques, mindfulness and psycho-dynamic awareness of relational interactions. In work with couples I utilize approaches designed by John Gottman and Sue Johnson. I have been certified in EMDR since 2010 and find that it is a very successful approach to resolving past traumatic experiences and integrating a new sense of self and awareness of strength. I work with adult individuals and couples, but also provide family counseling on occasion. I have worked extensively with adolescents in the past and was a certified chemical dependency counselor at the beginning of my career. Interests include parenting skills, difficult relationships, divorce, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and co-dependent behaviors. LGBTQ friendly.
