Christine Tierramar, LPC

About me

I would describe myself as a "Mind, Body, & Spirit" counselor who has education and experience in the 'whole' human perspective. I am currently working on a PhD in Psychology with a concentration in consciousness, spirituality, & integrative health. I have a MA degree in Mindfulness-based Transpersonal Counseling, a BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology, and an AS in Science, where I focused on pre-medical courses.

I worked in addictions counseling for 3 years during my practicum and internship, and worked with mental health students for 4 years post-grad, in addition to clients from the public in my private practice, Humanistic Counseling LLC, where I specialize in Panic & Anxiety, Support Animal Assessments, Dreams & Nightmares, LGBTQIA+ clients, Altered States of Consciousness Integration, Sexual Assault Survivors, and most recently, offer Clinical Supervision for Post-MA Counselors-in-training. I also have worked in crisis intake at a local psychiatric hospital completing full assessments for levels of care.

Growth happens during uncomfortable phases of our lives. In the moments when we are shook up, lost, or afraid, there is an opportunity for new awareness's, expansion and growth. These struggles though don't have to be experienced alone nor unguided. If harnessed with love and support, we can experience greater openings and insights that will allow us to move forward renewed.

The role I take as a therapist is as your helper and assistant. I may offer potential insights, tools, techniques, coping skills, or simply love and caring as you share with me your pain and your joys. I am a client-led therapist, which means you decide what is working for you and what does not work for you. I continually will seek feedback to ensure you are getting the most support from our partnership.
