Professional statement

Christina Tindal, is a therapist practicing in private practice in Michigan. She sees clientele via zoom for 45 min sessions, 60 mins and 90 mins sessions. She specializes in females ages 17-30, with a focus on Women’s Health Issues, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Trauma, Bipolar Disorder, Adjustment Disorders and Career Issues. She does treat adults throughout the lifespan and also has several male clientele as well.

She brings a unique background, as a licensed therapist with studies in Medicine, Pharmacology, Chemistry, Biology and Advanced Studies in Business and Coaching. She has been a therapist for over 17 years, as well as an Executive and Business Coach. She has over 20 years experience in crisis management and utilizes these skills in the framework of her sessions.

Therapy sessions with Christina integrate CBT and DBT skills, along with an insight-oriented and strength-based approach. She also utilizes mindfulness as desired and has a background as a certified hypnotherapist as well. She gently challenges her clients to explore connections between current struggles and past behavior as well as exploring thought patterns that may lead to current difficulties in present functioning.

While exploring the past does assist in understanding the present, she also ensures that her clients are equipped with skills to last a lifetime, long after they have completed therapy. These skills are gained through present-focused solutions that often have an immediate impact and help to decrease anxiety and stabilize depressive symptoms.


Message to clients

This is YOUR time. Christina believes that therapy should be a time for defining and redefining life's goals, while also helping one to grow personally and professionally if desired. The hope is that the client will enjoy a time of thought-provoking insight and guidance that will help them to become the best version of whom they are. While therapy does open up difficult memories and can sometimes be uncomfortable, she helps her clients to significantly relieve the discomfort with a variety of healing techniques. She believes in "sealing" the sessions so that her clients do not leave feeling raw, exposed, vulnerable and struggling. Therapy is a time for healing, feeling and "sealing." Life goes on the rest of the week and the skills learned in a session should assist with living ones life as fully as possible.
