Christine McKenna Is Proudly Offering Therapy In Los Angeles, CA
I believe that all people have an innate drive towards wholeness and health.
Sometimes things happen in children’s lives that cause them to use coping mechanisms that may work for a time, but eventually can take them off of their natural and healthy developmental trajectory. When it becomes clear that these coping strategies are no longer working, and are getting the way of their healthy and happy experience and participation in life, this is when psychotherapy can prove to be a wise intervention.
In addition to my private practice, I have over a decade of experience working as a school counselor. My role as counselor allows me to know and understand the inner workings of schools. Being in this position has shown me just how important collaboration and communication between the systems in a child’s life are. In addition to communication with the child’s family and caregivers, it is also important for the therapist to communicate with the child’s school personnel, doctor(s), and other important helping professionals in the child's life.
