Christine Heing, LISW-S — Therapist in Ohio

Hi there, I'm Christine!

My goal is to make therapy helpful and meaningful to you by taking a collaborative approach that addresses your unique needs and goals. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety, navigating challenging life transitions, and who have experienced trauma.

My focus

I work with adults struggling with anxiety and depression, including those who have experienced trauma and loss. I also specialize in helping people learn coping skills to navigate difficult life transitions. I will collaborate with you to develop an individualized plan focused on your goals for growth, recovery, and healthy coping.

My approach

We will tailor our work based on your therapy goals and preferences. I offer evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you reshape unhelpful thought patterns. I also use Interpersonal Therapy for Depression to process emotions and navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, grief, and social isolation.

My communication style

I offer a supportive and empathetic environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I understand that being emotionally vulnerable in therapy is difficult, and I consider it an honor to partner with people working through painful life experiences. Many people have described me as warm and easy to talk to.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I had a personal experience with therapy that was invaluable in helping me move forward in healthy ways. I also saw how therapy helped other people in my life heal, grow, and recover. I believe that we all have the potential for positive growth and change if we are willing to work towards this.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership, so we will collaborate to identify goals that are meaningful to you. Examples include decreasing symptoms of depression or anxiety, building self-esteem, or learning healthy coping skills. Over the course of therapy, your goals may change and evolve, so I am always flexible and open to adapting our plan.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We will discuss your background, your current challenges, and how you hope therapy will benefit you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and express concerns. We will work together to identify your goals and decide on an approach that best fits you.
