Getting to know Christina Shrader

As a family therapist, I help families who are desperate to enjoy time with each other again. I encourage family members to work together to make their family look and feel more like what they hope for. Families express they appreciate my level-headed approach, supportive yet challenging energy, and my ability to balance the power of many voices. I believe that, despite all the pain and conflict, your family can be put back together. That your teenager doesn’t hate you as much as their eyes say they do. That parents can talk about more than poopy diapers and rebellious teens on a long-overdue date night. And most importantly, that families are resilient and capable of change and growth. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Illinois and Florida. I received my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Adler University, and I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Florida in Psychology and Family & Youth Community Sciences. Go Gators! My career experience highlights my passion for working with conflictual couples, bickering families, hard-to-reach teens and young adults, and parents in need of a strategy adjustment. I have had the great opportunity to be welcomed into diverse families to help them reach their unique goals. I founded Empower Family Therapy to be the “Go To” resource for couple and family issues in Oak Park’s family-focused community. I am excited to expand Empower Family Therapy to my hometown of Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter, and to be a resource to the growing community of families in South Florida—a place very near and dear to my heart. In addition to my work as a therapist to my clients and a supervisor to my staff, I am passionate about supporting other local small business owners. As a board member of the Oak Park & River Forest Chamber of Commerce, I contribute to empowering business leaders in the community to push past the monotony of business ownership and find ways to help their business work for them.
