Christine MacNaughton

My name is Christine...But, most people just call me "Chris" :)

I have had the honor of working in the mental health/clinical social work field for over 25 years. I obtained my Master's and Post-Master's from NYU.

My professional experience is broad, with an established background in the areas of clinical social work and psychotherapy with all ages/populations. Disaster Mental Health (ie, the WTO attacks) & NYC Crisis Team; acute psychiatric ER settings; & NYC community-based treatment.

We all need a helping hand at times to navigate through life's challenges. I truly believe that we all have inherent strengths and skills an dour own unique power to heal. For many, therapy can be the missing link necessary to guide you onto a path of deeper discovery as you strive to connect with your true, authentic self. I see my role, in part, as a conduct in supporting recognition of your inherent strengths, abilities, and internal resources guiding you.

In therapy sessions, I strive to utilize a collaborative approach, wherein we work together, as a team, examining impactful issues, with goal of developing a deeper understanding/greater insight of core conflicts, and patterns of behavior; with ongoing exploration of healthier approaches and solutions. I am passionate and deeply committed in my mission to help others navigate life's "obstacle course"...Partnering with them to forge a new, positive pathway forward in their journey.
