About
As a trauma-informed therapist with a multicultural background, I understand how to empower people to find their voice.

She has provided counseling in a variety of settings including inpatient detoxification, intensive outpatient (IOP), outpatient group therapy, family, and individual therapy.
Christin completed her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She completed her Master of Social Work (MSW) at Wheelock College, which is now part of Boston University. Christin is certified in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and is in the process of becoming trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy modalities. In 2015 she received an award for Outstanding Achievement and Service Excellence at Palmetto Summerville Behavioral Health. She is a military spouse.
Christin’s goal is to help you find ways to cope, learn to move on, and learn how you can feel better. Her practice centers around a person-centered approach utilizing a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) modality. What this means is the focus is on the individual’s goals, needs, and ways to help promote change. Christin empowers people to find their coping skills. She utilizes motivational interviewing to work on goals that sometimes feel overwhelming. You have taken the step to look for help and that is brave.

The length of addiction counseling depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their addiction, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.
Addiction affects millions of us in the US. Many addicts deny they are addicts, and that denial might well be a sign in itself. Addicts lie about their condition, to themselves as much as to anyone else. But there are some other signs out there too.
Of course, none of these traits on their own prove addiction, but a couple of them put together are real warning signs that help is needed before the addict loses everything, including maybe, their life.
The best route to recovery for an addict is to go into therapy. Our Richmond addiction counseling services can provide a therapy solution for every kind of addiction out there. Therapy comes in all shapes and sizes, but the three kinds that work best for an addict are:
Generally a combination of the three different counseling methods above works best for addicts in recovery, as well as some other programs that can be discussed.
