Hello my name is Christine Rykiel and I am a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I provide compassionate, empowering, and affirming counseling services that are client-centered and goal oriented and that develop and enhance my client's strengths and build their coping skills to manage the symptoms of a wide range of mental health conditions. I practice from a philosophy of empowering my clients to achieve balance with their mental and emotional health and to maintain healthy boundaries that support their well-being.
Once we both understand what you wish to be different in your life, than we can explore the interventions that best support the therapeutic work we will do together. In our therapy sessions you will learn and practice concepts and strategies to help you build a toolbox of skills that lead to success with managing the effects of adversity in your life.
I welcome the opportunity to work with you to affirm and validate the challenges that have been present in your life and to celebrate your successes and strengths in overcoming the hardships. Contact my office today and let's start your journey of healing and hope.
