About me

I'm a licensed therapist in Colorado with extensive experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients wanting to overcome depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, as well as those facing career transitions, life changes, and questions about purpose and direction.

My approach is grounded in helping the client build self-compassion and meaningful communication while addressing concerns like social anxiety, panic, isolation, and relationship difficulties. I'm experienced in helping clients through major life transitions—including divorce, grief, and identity shifts—as well as deeper work around attachment, abandonment, shame, body image or forgiveness. I also help in decisions or coping skills regarding workplace challenges, caregiver stress, chronic pain, and the complex emotions that arise during life transitions. Whether working through trauma, managing mood challenges, or exploring behavior patterns, I'm here to help you move toward greater clarity and healing.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and compassionate. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to build the skills and insights you need to create meaningful change in your life. I'm happy to help you on your journey.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Yamasaki. 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 was really nervous about starting therapy. I don’t like to talk about personal issues with anyone or be vulnerable. I’ve only have three video chat sessions with Christine and every session I have felt much more comfortable opening up and going deeper into things I’d like to work on. The video sessions have been surprisingly pleasant and personable. I appreciate her calm demeanor and focus when I’m spilling out my heart. The tools she has given me to work on myself work are reasonable and useful. I look forward to my next session with her.

Using betterhelp and with Christine, it was the first time in therapy that I've actually been given day one tools to help my mental state. Etc.
It's not just talking about family history, or whatever I feel like.She's here to actually help and offers options
