Christine Straiker-Owens Headshot

Christine is trained in and utilizes the following evidence-based interventions:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy
  • Internal Family Systems
  • Trauma-Informed Care.

I believe, as a therapist and social worker, in the dignity and worth of every individual. I utilize a client-centered and empowerment based approach, that focuses on improving client self-perception and growth through the challenges they face.


I work with my clients to identify goals, make positive changes, and build strong coping skills for the future, and overall lasting wellness. I have experience working with LGBTQI+ populations. I have experience working with adolescents and adults, with a variety of diagnosis, with a focus on family level systems and generational trauma.


I offer my clients a safe place to share their story, and set their intentions for the future. I work with my clients to assist them in gaining the tools to make the changes they have identified in their life.


If you are currently struggling, or are simply feeling the need to begin making positive changes in your life, please reach out. My intention as a therapist is to assist my client in feeling valued and respected, and learning to value and respect themselves as well.
