Christina Yother-Williams

Mental health concerns can impact all of us in personal ways, whether we talk about it or not. I know too well that leaving things unsaid can cause feelings of isolation and invisibility. But, you don’t have to be stuck there (which is easier said than done!). I have seen and felt the power of human connection in healing; and that is something I aim to bring to every therapy session with you. If you are experiencing or living with depression, anxiety, trauma, passive suicidal thoughts, substance use, self-esteem concerns, or chronic illness, I would be honored to work with you.

Born from my own life is a connection I feel with caregivers and loved ones of individuals with psychotic disorders; and those who are living with a severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) such as schizophrenia, psychosis, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder themselves. I am passionate about working with individuals with SPMIs, as well as their loved ones. It may be hard work at times, but I believe together, you can improve functioning, and quality of life, and find hope.

My counseling style is person-centered first and foremost, so I view each person as a unique individual made up of many parts due to their past and present experiences. I believe the need to be seen wholly and authentically is universal. My counseling approach also includes LGBTQ+ allyship, being multiculturally informed, trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and body-positive. I employ interventions that fit each person, which may include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Gestalt therapy, among other modalities that may be appropriate.

If you are looking for a space to create healing, growth, and maybe even joy in your life, you're in the right place. By blending evidence based therapy modalities with a holistic, systemic awareness, we provide a nonjudgmental environment tailored to your unique journey. This is therapy that values collaboration, resilience, and recovery.
