Getting to know Christine Tergis

Therapy is a powerful tool to aid in healing emotional pain and improving overall well-being. If you struggle with stress and overwhelm, low self-esteem, trouble in relationships, or depressed mood or anxiety related to specific incidents or in general – healing is possible and I can help. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, focusing not merely on treating symptoms, but on supporting you as a whole person deserving of a safe space in which to feel heard and understood. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from New York University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in evidence-based practices. As an integrative therapist, I draw from a variety of different modalities; my work as a trauma-informed yoga instructor and meditation teacher also influences my practice. My goal is to help you develop improved coping strategies that arise from a place of deeper insight and self-trust, so that you can experience meaningful and lasting change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

With a foundation in psychodynamic and attachment theory, I integrate therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness, according to your individual needs. I have a masters degree in social work from New York University and I am also a 200 hr certified yoga instructor. I approach my work through a lens of trauma-informed care and inclusive, anti-oppressive practice.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Typically we begin with a slightly more structured initial session in which my main goal is getting to know you, what brings you into therapy, and what you are hoping to accomplish in our work together. Depending on what your immediate needs are, we proceed from there. Therapy is often about the discovery process — and I leave space for us to also uncover, as we go along, patterns and/or points of difficulty that feel worth exploring as they arise. I deeply honor the courage it takes to engage in therapy and consider it a privilege to serve as a guide on your journey.
