Christina Heddinger

Hi! I'm glad you're here. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in the power of a growth mindset to strengthen mental health and personal well-being. I work with youth, adults, couples, and families to help them navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful growth. My areas of focus include ADHD, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I take a client-centered approach, emphasizing mindfulness, stress management, and self-acceptance. I also value incorporating humor when appropriate to create a supportive and comfortable environment for change.

Through the application of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I aim to support and empower individuals in the pursuit of their therapeutic goals. My objective is to assist clients in developing adaptive skills and strategies that facilitate meaningful change, promote psychological well-being, and enhance overall life satisfaction.

In our first session, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your story and what brings you to therapy. This session typically serves as an intake, allowing me to gather important information about your background, such as your family history, relationships, work or school experiences, and daily routines. This process helps us develop a clear understanding of your needs and begin setting meaningful goals for therapy.
