Christine Lemmon
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
I am a psychotherapist providing individual therapy services to adults. Many of clients who come to me are experiencing feelings of grief, sadness, anxiety, confusion about an area of their life, or difficulty in intimate or familial relationships. I also specialize in working with adults who are impacted by trauma. In my work I understand trauma as how we are impacted by the painful experiences in our lives and the ways in which those experiences shape the way we form relationships with others, with ourselves, and the degree to which we are able to find joy.

Do you have a challenge you would like to overcome? Do you sometimes feel isolated and unable to connect with others because you have problems you can't share? Life presents us all, at times, with obstacles and challenges. My practice is centered on providing a supportive environment for individuals and families to make changes, grow personally, and overcome the obstacles preventing them from from fully experiencing the joy of life. Together, we work to gain insight into the causes of conflict and personal challenge, and develop strategies and learn new skills to succeed now and in the future.

Does your life feel confusing? Maybe you’re being pulled in multiple directions, as others expect you to be what they want, instead of who you are. Many people I work with have had difficulties with trauma, anger issues, or anxiety. Others have struggled with impulsivity, transitions, or their sexuality. No matter what you’re going through, things can get better, especially with support. I help people who want to better understand themselves and their struggles, so they can live happier, more peaceful lives. I provide an accepting, non-judgmental environment, where you can relax as you get to know yourself better.

I enjoy working with young people who want more for their lives but aren't sure how to get there.

Having a good relationship with oneself is a process and a practice, and can be cultivated through the therapeutic process. Every relationship is dependent on how we talk to ourselves, and this inner conversation is what therapy can shift. If you have the willingness, huge transformation is possible. I am in this field to help people sort out a way through and beyond unnecessary suffering, and towards deep peace with themselves and others. I have successfully treated high-functioning CEOs as well as people traumatized, addicted, and broke. Being human is challenging, and with the right support, beautiful. Call. I can help!

My style of therapy is focused on what is showing up in the present while also acknowledging and honoring how past patterns impact you today. In my work I bring an awareness of and sensitivity to power, prejudice and oppression and the many impacts that they have on an individual’s experience of themselves and the world around them.

Trouble communicating with your teen? Unable to break the cycle of arguments with your partner? Overwhelmed and not sure why? Our interactions with the world are shaped by our families and the broader cultures that surround us as we grow up. As an adult, you might find that those patterns no longer work for you, or get in the way of your having fulfilling relationships with your spouse or children.

As a first generation immigrant and a parent, I have had to navigate parenting issues in a multi-cultural society. I channeled those learnings into parenting classes for parents and social skills classes for teens. Prior to being a therapist, I worked in the hi-tech industry for several years. That exposure helped me understand the demands of corporate life, especially in the fast-paced silicon valley culture.

From the first phone call to the last session I want you to feel heard, seen and safe. Reaching out when you need support is a very vulnerable step. And a brave one. You are worth it and won't be alone during your journey of growth and healing. My desire as a therapist is to help children and teens who are struggling with their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This includes working alongside their caregivers. The family is a system and needs to be supported as a whole.
