Christine Washington

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (Diplôme d’Etudes Supérieures Spécialisées (DESS) de Psychologie Clinique et Pathologique de l’Université de Nancy 2, ADELI number 789322005) and Marriage and Family Therapist (licensed in California).

I take an integrative approach, inspired by and using several theoretical orientations and therapeutic techniques in order to best suit your needs and support you in your life.

I use treatment approaches such as client centered therapy, psychodynamic, family therapy, cognitive and behavioral therapy (information processing as well as a more recent conceptualization focusing on context, processes, and increasing skills to deal with difficulties) . I also use complementary techniques from Mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, InterPersonal NeuroBiology, Positive Psychology, Social and Emotional Learning, and Positive Discipline.

My tailored treatment reflects your unique situation and personality. Of equal importance is the therapeutic collaborative relationship.

It is within a context of active listening, of caring, trust, and empathy, and in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Psychologists (le Code de Déontologie des psychologues), that I support you through the understanding your concerns with a comprehensive and integrative consideration of your emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physiological dimensions.

The assistance that I offer is a therapeutic collaboration to advance together towards a new balance in your life and a (re)discovery of yourself, your inner resources, and your abilities.
