Anxiety Therapists in Schwenksville, PA

Searching for a therapist can be incredibly overwhelming, especially if reaching out for the first time, have had a negative experience in therapy, or are searching for a different therapy style. How I can relieve those initial stressors of this process is by building a strong therapeutic foundation that can develop into a strong relationship to assist you in reaching your goals. I can be an outlet of security, trust, validation, support, and safety to guide and challenge you to explore thoughts, emotions, and reactions. I personalize each case and utilize different therapy styles that are fitting to you. -Christina Lees, LPC

I enjoy working with children with anxiety, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. My goal is always to create a warm, fun environment that children enjoy and to model skills that are practical to take out of the office and use at home. I use a combination of ABA and CBT techniques based on the needs of the child and family. I'm also skilled in working with young adults on the autism spectrum on social/self-management skills and women in the pregnancy and postpartum stages of their lives. As a mother and parent myself, I am particularly honored to hold space for women navigating the challenges of pregnancy and new parenthood.

I am so glad you are considering getting started with therapy, whether it’s for you or a loved one. I specialize in working with young adults, adults and parents- especially those struggling relationally. This might mean you struggle with your internal thoughts/feelings. This can also mean you are struggling to navigate relationships outside of yourself- with loved ones, friends, family members. I work well with people who have tried therapy but feel stuck or need a different approach. In our sessions, we will focus on how you relate to the different parts of yourself as well as how you are feeling about your external relationships.

Sometimes we are too close to our own lives to see our situation clearly, or we get stuck in repeating patterns and knee-jerk reactions. Sometimes fear and limiting beliefs about ourselves and others get in the way of living the life we want to live. It is a sign of strength to recognize this, and to seek an outside perspective. My approach to counseling is client-centered and intuitive. People know truth when they hear it - it resonates. I have found over the years that finding and following this resonance, works at deeper levels and consistently yields the results my clients are looking for. It is the foundation of my approach.
