Welcome!
A bit about me: I am a licensed mental health counselor with many years of experience in a hospital setting. Since 2019 I have worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic where I have had the opportunity to provide telehealth counseling since March 2020. I do my best to meet people where they are and bring ideas for ways to improve their lives. My practice is individualized and draws primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am a qualified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) instructor and mindfulness practice has been an important part of my personal growth. I am also an adjunct professor and love to teach.
I have had the honor of getting to know people when they are experiencing challenges in their lives. I appreciate the opportunity of working with individuals to bring about positive change in their lives. I appreciate the courage it takes to begin this work. I would be honored to have the opportunity to get to know you and walk along side you as you work with your current challenges.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Wagner. 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.
Since we have been working together she has improved my self worth and helped me when issues I couldn't see an end to. I really appreciate her and so glad to have her!

Christine creates a comfortable and inviting environment to talk about and work through uncomfortable experiences. She gently leads you through processing while letting you remain empowered in how you'd like to proceed. She helps you come back to the present after discussing past events in a calm and peaceful manner. It's truly a pleasure to work with her.
