Dr. Christine Highfill

I believe people are more than the hardest things they have experienced. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), EMDRIA-trained therapist, educator, and researcher, I bring both professional expertise and genuine curiosity to the counseling relationship. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person's unique story, strengths, and values. Whether you are seeking healing, clarity, growth, or simply a place to feel understood, I strive to create a supportive environment where meaningful change can take root.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each person's unique experiences, values, and goals. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and empowered, so I focus on building a genuine therapeutic relationship while integrating evidence-based approaches such as EMDR or solution-focused brief therapy. Together, we work to make sense of life's challenges, identify existing strengths, and create a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.

The first session is primarily a chance for us to get acquainted and begin building a comfortable working relationship. I'll share information about my background, training, and approach to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and complete the intake paperwork together so I can gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what brings you to counseling. My goal is to create a welcoming, collaborative environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported from the very beginning.
