Christine Evans, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christine!

By day, I’m a therapist; by night, I’m an artist. As an LMFT, I create a warm, inclusive space where clients can explore their stories, re-establish mind-body connection, and heal through trauma-informed, holistic, and creative approaches.

My focus

I support children and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, or daily distress. You do not need a diagnosis to deserve support; together, we can create space for healing, self-expression, and a stronger connection with yourself.

My approach

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT, narrative, psychodynamic, somatic, and expressive interventions to help you understand how past experiences, stress responses, and personal narratives influence your present life.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I balance compassion and validation with gentle curiosity, honest feedback, and practical guidance, creating a space where you can feel safe, respected, and empowered to show up as your full self.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a minor in Psychology, inspired by an interest in art therapy. Graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy, along with experience in inpatient, PHP, IOP, and outpatient care, deepened my commitment to integrative, trauma-informed healing.

My goals for you

We will identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic to you, then develop a personalized plan for reaching them. I help you recognize patterns, build practical skills, process underlying experiences, and regularly reflect on your progress so treatment can evolve with your needs.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know one another and determine whether we are a good fit. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, your history, strengths, concerns, and hopes for treatment. I will explain my approach, answer questions, and collaborate with you on next steps.
