Getting to know Christine Havekost

Hello there, I am looking forward to working with you. Since 1996, I have been treating clients and strive to make them feel comfortable and safe. I encourage you to confront your challenges and support you through this process, exploring the issues in your life and pursuing your goals. My ultimate aim is to motivate you so you feel able to build on your strengths and enrich your life. I treat clients 18 and older dealing with a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, sleep issues, stress, divorce and other major life changes, infidelity, gender issues, trauma, and mood disorders. My style in session is informal and interactive. I like to use a problem-solving approach. I often use cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychotherapy techniques, and a supportive approach, but I have an eclectic style, allowing me to be flexible and cater to your unique needs. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University and a Bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Old Westbury. If this is the care you are searching for, please don't hesitate to reach out.
