CHRISTINA DOVEL
LCSW

Whether you’re facing challenges or seeking personal growth, having someone to talk to can be invaluable. My approach is grounded in empathy and understanding, ensuring that each session is tailored to your unique needs and paced according to your comfort level. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and to help you navigate your journey with understanding and respect.

I work with  children 6+ and teens,  experiencing  anxiety, behavioral concerns (ADHD, ODD, tantrums, emotional regulation outbursts, concentration) grief, self-esteem, self-worth, stress, trauma, relational difficulties, LGBTQ+ related issues, school related issues, disordered eating.

I see adults (18+) experiencing  anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, parenting,  relationship issues (individuals only), self-esteem, self-worth, stress, trauma/PTSD, women's issues, bipolar, OCD, LGBTQ+ related issues, transgender, mood disorders.

APPROACH
