Christine Lawrence

Christine Lawrence, RN, BSN, MA, LPC-A, believes that everyone has a story—and that story deserves to be met with compassionate curiosity. She specializes in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma; partners who are considering premarital counseling or couples therapy to overcome relationship difficulties; families struggling to connect and resolve conflicts; and adolescents and young adults who are navigating life transitions and mental health challenges.

She is a certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator, skilled in helping couples identify their relationship strengths and develop skills to build, renew, or restore their relationships. She is also uniquely trained in helping clients with PTSD heal through Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). She views counseling as a space where individuals can begin or continue their journey, and emphasizes to her clients that they are not alone.

Her passion for helping others began in the field of nursing and evolved into a deep sense of purpose in providing therapy. As a therapist, Christine takes a collaborative and empathetic approach, meeting clients wherever they are in their counseling journey. She is committed to understanding and helping individuals make meaning of their unique story, while offering a safe and supportive environment that lets clients feel seen and known.

Christine earned her Bachelor's in Nursing from Milligan College and her Master's in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary. She uses a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s needs. Her modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, family systems theory, and psychodynamic theory. 

Christine has worked with individuals, families, and couples in private practice settings, where she gained experience in helping clients with a wide range of mental health issues, including childhood trauma, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD. She later expanded her clinical experience by working in a psychiatric hospital, supporting individuals with chemical dependency and mental health diagnoses. She now integrates these diverse experiences to provide thoughtful, personalized, and down-to-earth care. Her goal is to empower clients as they work toward becoming their healthiest, most authentic selves.

Outside of work, Christine enjoys spending time with her husband and toddler, connecting with friends, and being outdoors.
