ABOUT ME
Greetings:
My name is Christine Nusser. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a private practice in Tennessee. I have an undergraduate degree from Lipscomb University (psychology major), an MSSW degree (clinical social work major) from the University of Tennessee School of Social Work, and an MBA (finance major) from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I have been in practice for over 30 years.
I am a seasoned therapist experienced in the provision of services for those with chronic mental illnesses, mood disorders, situational disorders, dual diagnoses, substance abuse, life crises, obsessive compulsive disorders, unresolved grief, anxiety disorders, and phobias etc. Services provided are designed to address each individual’s needs and preferences. I am trained and experienced in the use of an array of techniques and will use a specific technique upon request.
The mission of my practice is to enable individuals to work towards achieving their goals including the lessening of or relief of symptoms, maintaining stability, achieving personal growth, and increasing self-actualization through the provision of quality, supportive, and affordable therapy.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Nusser. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Ms. Nusser is a great therapist that is very caring and always focuses on the important concerns that I have brought up in our sessions and always helps to lift me up. Even if I only see her once a month with my busy schedule, we have very productive discussions that start from where we last left off and she always reaches out to see how I'm doing.

Her approach and presentation are right on target with my way of receiving. Her experience is very diverse which is helpful in understanding the multiple levels of dysfunction going on in my world
