About me
My name is Christina Watson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Masters of Social Work. Since that time, I have been given the opportunity to work in the mental health field in a variety of settings. My passion lies in helping individuals such as yourself meet their goals and work towards becoming their best selves. Most of my clinical work has been with adults but I have worked with families, teens and children.
My therapeutic approach is fairly simple, I believe you are the expert in your life and I am here as a partner and sounding board to help you make real positive changes in your life. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solutions focused and motivational interviewing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
