Hi! I’m Christina Washburne, and I’m a licensed therapist here at Ebb & Flow. I have been in the mental health field for about 10 years now, and my main goal as a therapist is to provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental space to process their pain, grief, and trauma. I have experience helping people learn to navigate a variety of issues, some of which include Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar/Depressive Disorders, PTSD, codependency, relational conflict, as well as helping individuals and their loved ones navigate a path to recovery from addiction. I also enjoy working with other helpers and caregivers to manage/prevent burnout, set boundaries, and gain balance in their lives.
A trauma-informed approach is vital to the work we do. I enjoy helping people cultivate a greater sense of wellness and connection to their body through breathing, grounding techniques and other emotional regulation tools. Whether you are healing from complex trauma or you are striving to feel more connected to your sense of identity and purpose, I would love to share these tools with you.
A collaborative, client-centered approach is very important to me as we work together to help you set and reach your personal goals. I integrate elements of various modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, among other evidenced based practices. However, you are the expert of your body and your experience, so I also believe that therapy needs to be used in conjunction with and in the context of what is important to you – from exercise, creativity, faith/spirituality, and the great outdoors – to achieve holistic wellness. Honoring your background, culture, hobbies, and beliefs are a top priority for me.
In my spare time, I enjoy yoga, rock climbing, and traveling to new places. I love spending quality time with family and friends, but I’m also perfectly content to curl up with a good book, my cat, and a cup of coffee. I value balance, self-care, and healthy boundaries, and I enjoy helping others do the same.
At this time, I am accepting new client appointments. Please visit Our Team page for a list of other fabulous clinicians that are accepting new clients at this time.
