Hello! My name is Christina Rankin and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Supervisor (LISW-S). I earned my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Ohio Dominican University and my Master of Social Work Degree with a concentration in Clinical Services from Ohio State University. I incorporate an eclectic approach to therapy, incorporating person centered, solution focused, cognitive behavioral, and motivational interviewing methods.
I have worked in the mental health profession for twenty years with adults, adolescents and children. I’ve worked advocating for children in foster care and have provided individual, family and group therapeutic services through crisis counseling, addictions programming, and community-based counseling. I have worked with individuals experiencing trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, substance use, low self-worth, life transitions, and a wide range of other emotional and behavioral health concerns.
I recognize the need and value of a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe it is important to work from a client centered and trauma informed lens. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I work with individuals to strengthen self-efficacies as I believe steadfast in hope and a resilient spirit within each of us. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking a first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Christian is courteous and a very good listener. I was hesitant about talking to a therapist but she has made me feel more at ease about talking to her.

Christina gives me valuable homework exercises that lead me to discover issues that I wouldn't have covered on my own. She is non-judgmental, and she asks insightful questions. I never feel judged by her. She is willing to be direct and offer opinions if I want them. I have made lots of progress with Christina, and I look forward to continuing to work with her.

Chris has been a wonderful therapist for me! She cuts right to the heart of the matter and then she provides the tools on how to work through the issues and finding solutions. She also keeps me accountable by assigning me homework and following up with me to discuss it. Having Chris as my therapist has truly helped me to pull myself out of a dark place and providing me with hope for not only today but the future.

Chris is like a weekly anchor in my life. I missed one session after seeing her for 8 previously and WOW! I did not realize how much benefit and value I was receiving until after missing a week. She helps me stay grounded and focused and teaches me ways to deal with anxiety issues. She's my touchstone.
