Christine Lawson

Hi, I’m Christine, a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee. I work with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, abuse and trauma. My background in counseling and nearly two decades in education, including special education, helps me appreciate the different ways people learn, cope, and experience the world. I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and work toward changes that matter to you.

My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I take time to understand your experiences and strengths, then work with you to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy skills, and schema therapy to help you manage difficult emotions, strengthen boundaries, and navigate relationships. Together, we’ll find strategies that fit your needs and everyday life.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your concerns, relevant background, and what you hope might feel different in your life, while leaving room for your questions. You can share at a pace that feels comfortable; there’s no pressure to tell your whole story at once. We’ll also review confidentiality and what working together can look like. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and with a clearer sense of our next steps.
