Getting to know Christina Chismar

Hello! I'm Christina, and I'm honored to be your counselor. With over 20 years of experience in counseling, I am dedicated to helping you navigate your journey toward a more fulfilling life. I specialize in working with women facing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma; couples seeking better communication; parents managing children's or teens' behaviors, especially in foster or adoption situations; and young adults striving for independence and healthy boundaries. Please note that for child or teen therapy, I require an initial parents-only session, followed by 2-4 sessions with parents present to establish treatment goals. My counseling philosophy is rooted in empowerment. I believe that the counseling process is not guesswork but a structured journey where we can identify a clear roadmap for your unique needs. Everyone deserves to feel safe and satisfied, and I am here to help you gain understanding and awareness of your situation, giving you the power and control to achieve the changes you desire. By understanding the facts of your body, mind, and spirit, you can choose to live the life you want. Many of my clients appreciate my Christian counseling perspective, but I am always willing to accommodate your preferences to ensure your comfort. I practice from a solution-focused brief therapy model and utilize various treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, TheraPlay (teaching parents), Sensory Processing tools, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, limited EMDR, and Intensive Therapy. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and a Bachelor's in Social Work from Oral Roberts University. In 2000, I was recognized by the American Red Cross as an American Hero. I am a licensed clinical social worker, a licensed cosmetologist, and a professional therapeutic clown.
