I am deeply grateful to my therapist Christine Hopkins who has walked alongside me, steadfast, as I painstakingly rebuild my life in the wake of my narcissistic husband's abrupt "discard" after 18 years of marriage. She uses a wide range of therapeutic modalities (CBT, parts work, shamanism, among many) that go beyond healing the immediate pain; for the first time, I am palpably addressing underlying issues -- childhood abuse, emotional abandonment and ancestral trauma -- in my body and not just my head. I am tackling my codependency (self-love deficit), low boundaries, automatic negative thinking, and deep anxiety. I am so much stronger and independent than I was and I'm learning to have empathy for my own vulnerability. Christine's writing assignment's and her thoughtful responses to me have increased the efficacy of our therapeutic relationship immeasurably She never stops learning and I continue to learn from her every day. Thank you, Christine!

Christine has truly changed my life in a way I’d have not expected it. Always straight honest and no talking around the bushes, but just always exactly what I need to hear. I don’t think I could be in this healthy relationship that I am in right now without her!

I am deeply experienced in helping people recover from and find positive success growing beyond their mental health challenges. Please contact me for an appointment by video, phone or email to get started.
Your therapy is based on us focusing on you and cooperating and communicating as a team for your positive future. We target your goals, your best ways of making progress, your feedback. Along the way we make adjustments to activate your path of symptom reduction, problem-solving, better coping, recovery and healing. I will offer you options, help you choose as needed and speak up whenever you need a boost or reminder. It’s also important to maintain your pace in therapy at the right speed for you—not too fast, not too slow—to get results that build positive momentum.
I provide you with my 30+ years of professional experience in mental health and addictions treatment settings and in private practice with diverse adults of all ages. Some of my specialty approaches include creative arts therapies, contemporary spirituality, energy work, shamanism and dreamwork. We’ll be getting clear on what you can do between sessions that benefits your progress. Doing more than talking helps you get much more of your brain involved in treatment, which helps you get the results you want faster and easier.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is the best I’ve ever had
Christine is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I really appreciate her guidance.
Christine inspired life lasting change in me to get in touch with my own feelings and live a more fulfilling and happy life. My sessions with her over just several months will last, and I feel as though I am starting a new and more emotionally fulfilled chapter of my life.
Christine is the best therapist i could have ever asked for. She’s funny, personable, empowering and AWESOME!!! I have learned so much about myself with her
Christine is the most beautiful, amazing, understanding counselor I have ever experienced. She does more than counsel. She also teaches coping skills. She is not afraid to say what I think I don’t want to hear. She is professional. She is also non judge mental and very supportive of being your full authentic self with her.
She is awesome
Christine has been very helpful with her knowledge and understanding of issues I am dealing with. She has been supportive and responds quickly if I need any extra support throughout the week. I am very pleased to have a better understanding of these issues with her help and support. I feel confident I can work through and overcome these problem areas in my life. I am able to see there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with Christine.
I appreciate Christine's direct approach. This has helped me challenge my limiting beliefs. It has also helped me be less invested in the perspective of my "problems" and invite in more acceptance. She also offers practical tools to move forward.
Christine was exactly what I needed in order to get out of a funk that was rapidly consuming me. For over a year, my mental "check engine light" was flashing and I thought that I could manage it myself. But 2020 was just too much for the tools that I had. Christine gave me space to just be present, encouraged me to feel the feels and not bury them, and she validated me in an encouraging, uplifting, and honest way. I greatly appreciate how much I've been able to bounce back in a healthier way in such a short time. I look forward to continuing to work with her.
She has been the best therapist I have ever gone to in my life. From our first session, I felt like she really understood me, and her priority really was helping me cope.
Christine is a wonderful listener and astutely observes non-verbal communication during our sessions as well. Her interest in helping me seems genuine and she is always considerate. I really enjoy her suggestions grounded in science and research. She has a wonderfully calm demeanor and I have enjoyed all of my interactions with her. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone looking to improve themselves, at the same time gaining insight into why they are feeling or behaving the way they are. So thankful to have found her!
Christine Hopkins was very present and listened to my concerns with utmost attention and respect. I felt at ease with her felt heard during the journey.
