Getting to know Jody Christiansen

Hi, I'm Jody. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and an Arizona Department of Education Certified School Counselor. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Arizona State University. In my practice, I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, play therapy, and goal setting. My expertise is with teens, pre-teens, and their families. My approach I use a multi-faceted approach and tailor therapy to the individual client. The approaches I utilize most often are cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, play, college and career exploration, and family systems therapy. I approach each client from a holistic perspective. My focus I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and emerging adults, ages 10 to 25, find and experience lasting happiness in all aspects of their lives. My practice includes clients challenged by anxiety, depression, anger, grief and loss, substance use/experimentation, eating disorders, adjustment disorders, ADHD, conduct disorder, low self-esteem, school concerns, and life-stage concerns. In addition, my experience includes college and career readiness. My communication style I place a strong emphasis on building rapport with my clients and their families. Working as a team, the client and I build specific therapeutic goals tailored to each concern. I am didactic and educational in my approach. I create an atmosphere of acceptance and kindness. My approach is gentle, kind, authentic, and approachable. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been passionate about helping others. In college, I discovered psychology classes ?lit my fire? to understand people, the brain, and how to implement change. My passion for the field grew in graduate school. Through many years of helping others feel validated, understood, experience happiness, reach goals, and practice self-love, my passion for the field has grown exponentially.
