CHRISTINA ANDERSON

I am a 4th generation settler with Scottish & English ancestry & am an aspiring anti-racist practitioner. I am also an approved therapist with NIHB for anyone who holds Treaty status.


I am LGBTQIA2S safe, kink-aware & trauma-informed practitioner in Treaty 6  (Saskatoon)  but licensed to work with anyone in Saskatchewan.

 

I have experience assisting folks to navigate conflict, relationship & intimacy satisfaction & 15 years of experience working with all types of mental health concerns & substance use disorders.

I also have personal & professional experience working with Emergency Services & healthcare personnel & particularly enjoy working with this population from both a trauma-informed perspective but also to maximize career performance.

Education & Training

Identifying that we need help is difficult to accept. There are a number of barriers that stop us from moving forward through formal counselling - shame, ego, fear of change, fear of sharing our stories, as well as the fear of being judged by others. I hope to offer a safe space to bring those barriers forward & explore them together. 

 

I describe my therapeutic model as feedback-oriented & 'solution-focused'. My clinical training has involved Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) & Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

 

This means that together we will identify your automatic thoughts & emotions that lead to unwanted feelings & behaviours which interfere with your life.  Through this process, we will learn how to shift those thoughts to healthier, more self-compassionate thoughts & behaviours.

 

If you are open to it, I would be glad to provide homework, resources, or strategies to help keep you accountable until the next time we meet & for the rest of your life.

Testimonials

"Christina is a fantastic listener and extremely easy to talk to. Despite speaking with her for only a few short months I feel like I am truly able to honestly approach my anxieties with her, and have her offer me a kind ear and sage advice. I can't recommend Christina enough!"
