Getting to know Christine Phelps

Hi there, my name is Christine Phelps (she/her). I'm a licensed clinical social worker and a certified EMDR therapist and EMDRIA-approved consultant. I specialize in supporting folks healing from traumatic experiences, using an adaptive information processing lens to help you access your innate ability to heal. My approach Trauma impacts the nervous system, but I believe- and have seen firsthand healing is possible when we create the right conditions for it. My hope is that we work together to support the healing that your nervous system already knows how to do. Most often, I use evidence-based practices, including EMDR and DBT, however, I will tailor my interventions to meet your specific needs. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of trauma, coping with anxiety or depression, or adjusting to life transitions, I'm here to help you reconnect with your resilience and move toward a more fulfilling life. My focus With a background in working with the LGBTQIA+ community and BIPOC individuals, I am committed to creating a space that is affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I am deeply passionate about working with folks who have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, and attachment disruptions. With this experience, I understand the profound impact of trauma on relationships, self-perception, and emotional well-being. However, I also deeply believe in the potential for posttraumatic the idea that through healing, individuals can develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and a renewed sense of meaning in life. My work is centered on not just addressing pain but also fostering empowerment, connection, and transformation. My communication style My approach is transparent, warm, and collaborative. I welcome feedback and want you to feel empowered to advocate for yourself in our work together. If something isn't working, I want you to bring it to my attention so we can adjust the course.
