Christina Edwards

My clinical training has focused on working with adults, children, adolescents, and their families in both private practice and school based settings. Through my experience working at a DBT clinic, I have facilitated skills training groups and worked with many clients struggling with emotion regulation. I have also worked in schools across the bay area and have found that supporting youth with their mental health directly impacts how they show up at school and in life.In addition to clinical work, I have a lot of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults through volunteer settings as well as being a nanny for families in Los Angeles and New York City. I genuinely enjoy connecting and working with these age groups.Prior to entering the field of Psychology, I worked in artist management in the music industry and love to bring creativity into my work and to help others foster their own creativity. When appropriate, you can also count on me to bring a little humor into the work.

I practice through a client-centered, nonjudgemental lens and really emphasize building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. I really enjoy working individually with my clients to get to know them and their natural gifts and passions. I also enjoy working with families and providing psychoeducation for both my clients and their support networks. I integrate interventions from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Humanistic, Solution Focused, and practice through a trauma informed and social justice lens.

A first session includes assessment, rapport building, and collaboratively creating treatment goals the client is looking to work on.
