Getting to know Christine Johansson
There are times in all our lives when our usual coping skills aren’t enough to manage serious and challenging life situations. I work to help clients develop tools to resolve the immediate problem that brought them to counseling, while also identifying and changing underlying beliefs and unhealthy patterns that may be creating problems in their lives and their relationships.
I have worked with individuals and couples for over thirty years, providing down-to-earth, compassionate counseling for issues such as depression, anxiety, loss, major life transitions, codependency, and trauma. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion, I would love the chance to work with you to uncover any negative beliefs and attitudes that may be holding you back from living the creative and meaningful life you want and deserve.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from San Francisco State University and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley.
What should a new client know about working with you?
"During our first session, I will want to learn about what brings you to therapy now, what your goals for you life at this time, and what you think might be holding you back so that we can start to develop a plan for change. I also like to discuss any questions or concerns you might have about counseling so you can feel safe and supported from the start. In following sessions, we will look the issues that are causing problems for you and explore tools and new approaches to try between sessions. As the work continues, we will keep assessing how things are changing and the progress towards your goal. "
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
