Christine Bassi, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christine!

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, the effects of substance use, and everyday stressors. I'm here to help you navigate these challenges and find your path forward.

My focus

My style and approach are a good fit for adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, and trauma. I also work with those exploring how drugs and alcohol impact their everyday lives.

My approach

I meet you where you are using a psychoanalytical, trauma-informed, and strength-based approach with mindfulness-based practices, CBT, and DBT. I focus on Person-Centered and Existential therapy modalities to provide unconditional positive regard and a space to be heard.

My communication style

I practice deep listening, compassion, and non-judgment. I encourage you to find your answers by providing a safe and contained space to be who you are and process thoughts and feelings safely. I honor your spiritual beliefs and am LGBTQ+ friendly.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been passionate about social justice, inclusivity, and human rights. After spending years in the corporate world, I returned to school to pursue social work and discovered my true purpose is to be of service to others.

My goals for you

I believe goal setting is a collaborative process that takes time as we get to know each other and build a trusting relationship. Each of us has our own idea of who we are and what we want to accomplish.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll provide space for you to talk about who you are, why you're seeking therapy, and what you hope to accomplish during our time together.
