Christine Susan Koshy, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Christine Susan!

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I'm here to make sure it's meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I work with children and adults managing anxiety, life transitions, depression, anxious thoughts, self-doubt, trauma, and self-esteem issues. Whether you're building coping skills or exploring your personal goals, I'll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted someone who looked like me and could understand my cultural background. I chose to become a provider so that I could help others who were in my same shoes. I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment that celebrates all identities, cultures, and faith backgrounds.

My goals for you

Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. I'm here to provide you with the support and tools you need to move closer to where you want to be.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
