Christine Winston, LCSW Psychotherapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in private practice and board approved clinical supervisor. My Masters in Social Work is from the University of Texas at Austin and I completed a certificate in Advanced Clinical Practice from New York University. I also am adjunct associate professor in the clinical graduate program at the University of Texas Steve Hicks School of Social Work.

Through individual therapy, I help clients sort through and transform experiences and feelings they struggle with, while also helping cultivate curiosity and awareness about who they are. The people I work with usually have sought out therapy for depression, anxiety, stress, relationship or dating issues, family difficulties, or current or past traumatic experiences (or some combination of those common issues).

The words "counseling, " "therapy, " and "psychotherapy" generally describe the same thing and are used interchangeably. Psychotherapy is a complex and dynamic process that develops within the specific boundaries of regular sessions between a client and a therapist. Therapy, at its best, involves the therapist and the client working together to create a common, current context.

I love what I do, and I consider it an honor to get to know each person have the chance to work with and I regard all with dignity, respect, and non-judgement. My therapy style is interactive, genuine, warm and down-to-earth.

I pay close attention to not only what your are saying, but also to any subtle shifts in expressions, body language, and tone that may be helpful non-verbal indicators of feelings and thoughts, and I integrate those cues back into our work.My approach is strongly informed by psychoanalytic psychology, mindfulness practices, and up-to-date research in attachment theory and developmental neurobiology.
