My focus area includes working with individuals affected by trauma. This can include but is not limited to: PTSD, human trafficking, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, and spiritual abuse.
I am currently offering individual telehealth therapy sessions for ages 7+. I also offer individual telehealth therapy services for parents/caregivers needing assistance supporting their children after trauma or with any additional behavioral concerns (outbursts, school issues, self-harm/suicidal ideation, and other additional needs). I currently only offer sessions via telehealth.
Some of my approaches include but are not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Client-Centered Therapy. I also like to utilize play techniques, expressive arts techniques, therapeutic stories, and worksheets/journaling, to assist sessions as needed.
Hello! My name is Cristen, and I have a passion for helping others heal. It can feel overwhelming beginning or continuing your therapy journey, and I am here to help you as you go at your own pace. I am a fully licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing since receiving my masters from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2017. I have experience working as both a trauma therapist and a clinical supervisor for other therapists. I have practiced through counseling centers, a human trafficking safe house, and through collaborating with the Central IL Human Trafficking Task Force.
When it comes to finding a therapist, I know the journey can feel overwhelming and, sometimes, even defeating. And when experiencing trauma and hardships, it can feel, exceptionally, difficult to open up, feel understood, or even know where to begin. I like to use a warm, empowering, and strengths-based approach to meet every person right where they are at. It may feel hard to connect with someone through a screen, but I work hard to create engaging sessions and activities that are specifically tailored for you.
I really look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards a more healthy and fulfilling life. And just know that I’m here to remind you that you do matter, your struggles are valid, and support is here waiting for you when you’re ready.
