Platenkamp, Christina MA Professional Mental Health Counseling - Addictions / Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, APCC 11622

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative and relational; that is to say: I value and emphasize our working relationship and your intuitive sense of what is helpful to you and what is not. It is important to me that you feel accepted, heard, and understood in your experience. My therapeutic style could also be described as strengths-based, meaning I am attentive to your strengths; I highlight and reinforce my clients' strengths and help you build on them. Additionally, I work to be transparent with my clients and support your understanding of the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment process. My hope is to support you in gaining the insight, skills, courage, and confidence to take steps toward healing and more fulfillment in your life. I incorporate Person-Centered Counseling, concepts and skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Seeking Safety curriculum, values exploration, and Motivational Interviewing into my work with clients. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, and I am passionate about supporting clients working through trauma, grief and loss, addiction and substance use concerns, chronic pain, illness, health concerns, and life transitions. As of Summer 2023, I am only offering Telehealth therapy via secure videocall and hope to provide in-person services by the fall; please see my website for updates.
