Christine Yan

I have had a calling in this field since I was 16 years old and over a decade’s worth of experience. In the past, I have worked in community-based centers, jail, a residential treatment center, and have done family therapy and Neurofeedback. I tailor treatment based on age groups and their presenting problems in addition to working with families and couples. During my free time, I love to spend time with loved ones, create art, enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Colorado, and listen to music.

My first step as a therapist is to meet the client where they are at in any given phase in treatment. I build rapport through my sense of empathy. The next step is to provide reflections so that the client can gain self-awareness, identifying patterns and understanding how cultural factors have influenced the messages we have received throughout our lives. With this gained knowledge, the goal is to identify what has no longer been serving us so that we can reach empowerment and efficacy.

Those that know me would say that I am personable, down to earth, and funny. I am a firm believer that the therapeutic relationship is a significant factor in helping the client empower themselves, so our compatibility is key.
