“She is humble and kind. Offers wonderful help even if it is a truth which you might not want to face. She does it gently and with grace. I could not be more grateful for her help. She always reminds me however that it is myself who is putting in the work, but she has helped more than she will ever give herself credit for. She offers personal stories to help relate, but not compare. 10/10 human.”

Getting to know Christine Janik

My name is Christine Janik. I have extensive experience with mental health and substance abuse issues. I don’t judge, and I start where the client is. My approach The most common approach I use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I am trained in multiple theoretical approaches. My focus My main focus is the client who suffers from anxiety, depression, and/or substance abuse. I enjoy working with all mental health issues. My communication style The best way to describe my style is easygoing, laid back, with a great sense of humor. It is your hour to let it fly. My journey to therapy I chose this career after a close family member introduced me to what he was doing as a therapist. My education I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the State University of New York, Buffalo. My goals for you We work together to find the best goals that will be most likely successful. My first session with you You should expect to share where you are now in your life, what challenges you may be facing, and what you would like to get out of therapy.

Christine is very warm and easy to talk to. She uses her years of experience to help guide me through difficult experiences.
Fantastic to speak with. Helps me understand my issues and thoughts more clearly. Gives great advice and direction
I am able to text her in an emergency. She listens well and asks good follow up questions.
She is amazing and I am in a much better place because of her.

Christine was friendly and on time, but the experience overall was not really good and anxiety inducing for me. I’m a 35 y.o. woman planning a pregnancy. Christine mentioned “birth defects after the age of 35” even though I didn’t raise it as a concern myself. The phrase “birth defects” is ableist, too. She also commented on my accent which felt othering and like a microagression, even though it was wrapped as a compliment. I do have an accent but English is my everyday work and life language, and my accent is not in the way of communicating. So even though she was friendly and transparent in the session, these words affected me for a few days. If I was in a worse mental state, the things mentioned above would have done more harm to me than good.

I feel like I have progressed more with Chris than I have with any other therapist I've seen. She has helped me understand what good goals would be for me to have during my time seeing her and she always has something she would like me to work on during the time between our visits. She has also given me reading material that has furthered my understanding of the issues that brought me to see her in the first place.
Respectful, progressive, impactful.
Christine Janik has really helped me develop new skills and other ways of managing my anxiety and whatever else is bothering me whenever something else has come up
Christine has a lot of patience. My son is not the easiest person to get info out of, and Christine is doing a great job getting him to open up a little bit more every session.
Christine is understanding and supportive I have never once felt that my feelings aren't valid. I have noticed great improvement with my mental health since working with her.
Lovely presence and very helpful tips and tricks
Christine is the best therapist i’ve ever had. She’s very personable and kind but also knows her stuff and how to help. I am very grateful for her.
I appreciated that they admitted that they could not help me and made suggestions on what I should look for moving forward in looking for someone else but I felt their experience wasn’t what was expected.
