I graduated with a Master’s degree from Sage Graduate School and have worked in a variety of mental health settings including a social work department in a nursing home. I am well versed in various treatment approaches and have extensive experience addressing a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, dealing with life transitions, self-esteem issues and relationship issues. My counseling approach is warm and interactive. I believe in treating an individual with respect, sensitivity and compassion. My counseling style combines a few approaches including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Positive Psychology but importantly it is a client centered approach. I am passionate about helping others feel good about themselves and effectively managing through life’s issues thrown at you to lead to a purpose in life, fulfillment and joy. My philosophy in working with clients is that I work together with you. This means that I work with you side by side, help guide you to understand where you are in the process of change, motivate you towards the next stage, assist you in the process and move at the pace you set. A client’s progression in therapy is often dictated by the level of engagement that they have and willingness to make progress. I will always have open and honest communication with clients as well as empathy and support. Let’s make the first step together! I look forward to working with you!

Christine Wagner
Welcome! A bit about me: I am a licensed mental health counselor with many years of experience in a hospital setting. Since 2019 I have worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic where I have had the opportunity to provide telehealth counseling since March 2020. I do my best to meet people where they are and bring ideas for ways to improve their lives. My practice is individualized and draws primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am a qualified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) instructor and mindfulness practice has been an important part of my personal growth. I am also an adjunct professor and love to teach. I have had the honor of getting to know people when they are experiencing challenges in their lives. I appreciate the opportunity of working with individuals to bring about positive change in their lives. I appreciate the courage it takes to begin this work. I would be honored to have the opportunity to get to know you and walk along side you as you work with your current challenges.

One of my favorite opening lines is from the spiritual classic, The Road Less Traveled, by M. Scott Peck. It reads, simply, "Life is difficult." Somehow, most of us expect that it won't be. Or that if it is, we should be able to handle it effortlessly. We criticize ourselves for feeling very human things like loneliness, confusion, anxiety, anger, boredom and depression when things don’t go the way we hoped. Unfortunately, life does not come with a user's manual for how to work with the hard stuff. And yet these very difficulties, the roadblocks at which we find ourselves, are often opportunities in disguise. I see counseling as an opportunity. First and most important, it is a chance to be heard. Things often begin to shift when we can share our inner thoughts and feelings with someone who is really paying attention. I have worked with many people who come up with their own answers when they are able to hear their deepest selves, sometimes for the first time. Counseling is also a chance to learn new life skills. If I had name what I think the most important life skill is, it would be this: psychological flexibility. This means the ability to respond flexibly to yourself, to others and to life. How to get there? By working bit by bit on the following: articulating what matters most to you in life; developing the behaviors that will move you in that direction; handling stumbling blocks along the way; and learning how to respond skillfully to difficult thoughts and feelings that are part of being human. I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. The psychological approaches that best inform the way I work are: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Human Givens Approach to Emotional Health and Clear Thinking, and Attachment Theory. The following people have greatly influenced my thinking: Dan Siegel, Stephen Porges, Russ Harris, Karen Horney, Rick Hanson, Mark Tyrell, Milton Erickson, Michael Yapko, Peter Levine, and Pat Ogden. In addition, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher, as well as a Licensed Clinical Massage Therapist. This means I bring a mind-body approach to counseling, including, if you are interested, instruction in basic calming yoga poses and breathing exercises. If this resonates with you, or you are curious to know more, feel free to contact me at any time!

Nora McNally
Welcome, I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with 15 years of experience working with adults suffering with a variety of barriers that prevent them from living their lives fully. I have worked with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, compromised self esteem, major life changes as well as, physical and emotional abuse. I believe the establishment of a strong trusting relationship is the essential first step in the therapy process. Having that relationship allows both therapist and client to examine the client's life experiences and challenges, as a unique story, told by the client; to be addressed in an unconditional, safe and compassionate setting. It is, after all, the client's story and it is a privilege for the therapist to be allowed to walk there. My therapy style is Client Centered and Trauma Informed and includes modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, (DBT), Existential Therapy and Trauma Focused Therapy. I think the value of mental health therapy is still greatly misunderstood in our society today and that making the decision to pursue help in this way is a statement of courage and commitment. If you think I can be of service to you, as you work to improve the fullness and quality of your life, I would love to hear from you.
