Getting to know Christine Bell

Hi there, I'm Christine! Starting therapy for the first time can be a great step to healing, improving your mental health and wellbeing. It is normal to have mixed feelings of anxiety and excitement. I commend you on starting your journey, and I’m here to support and make sure that it is relevant to you. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with alcohol and drug addiction, relapse prevention, and loss and grief. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, talk therapy, and mindfulness practices. Each session is structured and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I encourage you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive space where you feel safe to be yourself. My approach I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you change negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that are contributing to emotional distress or challenging situations. This approach is hands-on and will give you the tools to better understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT aims to empower you to develop more effective coping strategies and improve your overall well-being. I may adjust my practice by using a different approach, such as mindfulness, motivational interviewing, meditation, or medication, based on your distinctive needs. My primary concern is your goals, experiences, and progression. We will work together to identify concerns and challenges and come up with an action plan to aid you in moving forward with assurance. My focus Are you struggling with staying clean and sober, or have you been feeling sad, angry, or having negative thoughts and behaviors related to grief? I work with individuals of various age groups seeking help with their substance use and those who are experiencing grief issues. I will work with you to create a treatment plan to assist you with identifying coping skills.
