Q: What motivates you to be a therapist?

I have had clients tell me, no one in my life knows about this except for you and that is an honor I do not take lightly. I feel that it is a huge privilege to be able to support my clients through some of their most difficult times and love being able to witness their light bulb moments.

About Christina Lavigne

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who graduated in 2018 with a Master of Arts in Professional Clinical Counseling from La Salle University. I've been working in the social service field for over 10 years, gaining experience with various populations in numerous settings while utilizing multiple therapeutic approaches. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my sweet pup. I also love getting lost in a good book, exploring new places, and traveling the world.

FAQs

I once worked with a young adult who attended therapy after struggling with depression, anxiety, and substance use issues which ultimately led to them having to leave college. Through our work together, they were able to address these challenges, secure a full-time job, re-enroll in college, and improve their personal relationships.

It is my goal to create an environment that allows the client to feel comfortable, open, and experience self-growth. I like to meet the client where they are at - I believe the client is the expert of their own life and I am here to provide guidance and feedback in their journey.

After completing the necessary background and demographic information, I will explain the therapeutic process and get to know you better so we can begin working together. We will discuss what has brought you to therapy and collaborate on treatment planning & goal setting.
