I am deeply experienced in helping people recover from and find positive success growing beyond their mental health challenges. Please contact me for an appointment by video, phone or email to get started.
Your therapy is based on us focusing on you and cooperating and communicating as a team for your positive future. We target your goals, your best ways of making progress, your feedback. Along the way we make adjustments to activate your path of symptom reduction, problem-solving, better coping, recovery and healing. I will offer you options, help you choose as needed and speak up whenever you need a boost or reminder. It’s also important to maintain your pace in therapy at the right speed for you—not too fast, not too slow—to get results that build positive momentum.
I provide you with my 30+ years of professional experience in mental health and addictions treatment settings and in private practice with diverse adults of all ages. Some of my specialty approaches include creative arts therapies, contemporary spirituality, energy work, shamanism and dreamwork. We’ll be getting clear on what you can do between sessions that benefits your progress. Doing more than talking helps you get much more of your brain involved in treatment, which helps you get the results you want faster and easier.
Please schedule an appointment with me right now by video or voice or email. Let’s see how we work together, what will best help you and let's get started.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Hopkins. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I am deeply grateful to my therapist Christine Hopkins who has walked alongside me, steadfast, as I painstakingly rebuild my life in the wake of my narcissistic husband's abrupt "discard" after 18 years of marriage. She uses a wide range of therapeutic modalities (CBT, parts work, shamanism, among many) that go beyond healing the immediate pain; for the first time, I am palpably addressing underlying issues -- childhood abuse, emotional abandonment and ancestral trauma -- in my body and not just my head. I am tackling my codependency (self-love deficit), low boundaries, automatic negative thinking, and deep anxiety. I am so much stronger and independent than I was and I'm learning to have empathy for my own vulnerability. Christine's writing assignment's and her thoughtful responses to me have increased the efficacy of our therapeutic relationship immeasurably She never stops learning and I continue to learn from her every day. Thank you, Christine!

Christine has truly changed my life in a way I’d have not expected it. Always straight honest and no talking around the bushes, but just always exactly what I need to hear. I don’t think I could be in this healthy relationship that I am in right now without her!

Christine inspired life lasting change in me to get in touch with my own feelings and live a more fulfilling and happy life. My sessions with her over just several months will last, and I feel as though I am starting a new and more emotionally fulfilled chapter of my life.
