Christina VanWert

Owner, NCC, LPC

As a psychodynamic therapist, my work focuses on understanding how trauma, early relationships, attachment patterns, and core beliefs shape present-day thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Many clients come to therapy feeling “stuck”—repeating the same patterns, struggling in relationships, or feeling disconnected from themselves without knowing why. You are not alone, and you do not have to figure it out on your own.

The goal of therapy is not only insight, but healing. Together, we explore what needs attention beneath the surface so growth, change, and emotional freedom become possible- then we begin the work.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating marriage and relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, personality disorders, and trauma- and mood-related disorders. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in helping clients develop deeper self-awareness, emotional regulation, and more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly on edge? If school stress or emotions feel unmanageable, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Im a Licensed Social Worker currently work as a School-Based Mobile Therapist within the Scranton School District, where I support students in grades 5–12 and their families through individual, group, and family therapy. I also have experience working with children and families involved in the foster care system, which has deepened my appreciation for the importance of safety, trust, and consistency in the therapeutic relationship. I believe therapy should feel like a place where clients can take a breath, feel supported, and move forward at a pace that feels right for them. Many children and teens find it hard to put their feelings into words, and my goal is to gently help clients build emotional awareness, develop healthy coping skills, and feel more confident navigating challenges. I work primarily with children, adolescents, and young adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. I offer telehealth services during after-school hours on select weekdays and Saturday mornings, making therapy more accessible for busy families. Location: Virtual only

Hello! I’m passionate about supporting children, teens, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with preteens and teenagers (ages 10–18), particularly those with ADHD or ASD, as well as co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. I also enjoy supporting young adults, single parents, and parents of individuals on the autism spectrum, and occasionally work with children ages 7–9 on a case-by-case basis.

I focus on helping clients and their families work through family conflict, bullying, school challenges, relationship issues, and life transitions—including moving schools, navigating parental divorce, becoming a teen parent, or preparing for life after high school. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, tailored to each client’s unique needs, temperament, and goals.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, build coping skills, and develop the confidence to face life’s challenges. I believe every individual has the capacity for growth, and I enjoy helping clients and their families find practical strategies to improve communication, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

If you’re looking for support navigating the ups and downs of childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you find the tools and strategies that work best for you. Location: Carbondale & Virtual

You do not have to carry it all alone. Working with me, you will not just be my client, rather you will be a collaborative partner holding power in your journey. We will focus on a compassionate and holistic approach while incorporating CBT and remaining mindful to the mind-body connection, body’s response to stress, trauma, and the experiences that have shaped you. My goal is to work with you to enhance your strengths, confidence and skills that will support healthy and independent navigation of life’s challenges. I dedicate myself to creating a space in therapy that can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and receive support in navigating life. I provide a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach primarily working with youth as young as 10 to adults, navigating difficult seasons in life. I have a special passion for supporting individuals who have a history or active involvement with social services, justice systems, homelessness, foster care and challenging family dynamics. I also bring extensive experience working with unique presentations of trauma and PTSD. Additionally, I hold a deep respect for all forms of spirituality and the power it can hold in the healing process. Location: Milford and Virtual.

My ideal client is someone who is eager for personal growth, even if they’re unsure where to start. Change can feel challenging, but with commitment and the right support, transformation is possible. I am passionate about working with individuals who are ready to explore new perspectives, engage in self-discovery, and invest in their journey toward meaningful change.

I also work with couples, helping partners navigate challenges, strengthen their connection, and grow together. Using a cognitive behavioral approach, I help clients identify thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviors, build practical coping skills, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where individuals and couples can safely explore their thoughts, emotions, and relationships while moving toward lasting, positive change. Location: Carbondale & Virtual

Healing is not about pretending the pain never happened, it’s about learning how to move through it, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that no longer revolves around survival. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where clients can feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and empowered to heal at the root level. With over 14 years of experience working in the behavioral health and recovery field, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals through some of the most difficult and transformative seasons of their lives. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and rooted in the belief that lasting transformation happens when we address the connection between the mind, body, and spirit- not just the surface symptoms. Many people spend years trying to “hold it together” while silently carrying unresolved trauma, anxiety, grief, addiction, shame, or emotional pain. Together, we work to uncover the underlying patterns keeping you stuck and develop healthier ways to heal, regulate, and move forward with confidence. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with trauma, PTSD, substance use, emotional dysregulation, grief, self-harm, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also have a passion for supporting first responders, military members, veterans, and those who have spent much of their lives caring for everyone except themselves. My approach is individualized, holistic, and deeply compassionate- integrating evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed interventions, somatic healing techniques, breathwork, and mindfulness-based practices. Every client’s story is unique, and therapy should reflect that. Whether you are navigating anxiety, addiction recovery, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, spiritual growth, or simply feeling disconnected from who you are, you do not have to walk through it alone. Healing is possible, and meaningful change can happen when you feel supported, seen, and understood. Location: Milford & Virtual

I aim to create a welcoming, supportive space where you can truly be yourself-open, honest, and free from judgment. Therapy with me is a place where all parts of your experience are welcome, even the ones that may feel difficult to put into words. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, life transitions, and challenges often experienced by women. I’m especially a good fit for those who feel overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or constantly putting others’ needs before their own. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT, while always maintaining a trauma-informed perspective. I believe in both validating your experience and helping you build practical tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life. Whether you’re trying to better understand yourself, improve your relationships, or feel more in control of your emotions, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but we’ll take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, balanced, and connected to yourself. Location: Carbondale & Virtual
