Meet the Therapist: Christina Goerdt

Q: What do you love the most about the work you do?
A: What I value most is witnessing the moment clients begin to relate to themselves differently—with more awareness, compassion, and trust. That shift can be subtle but deeply transformative, and being able to support and witness that process is what makes this work so meaningful to me.

Q: Why is a holistic approach important to you?
A: Because people aren’t just thoughts or behaviors—they are whole systems shaped by their bodies, relationships, cultures, and environments. A holistic approach allows me to honor all of those layers, especially the ways trauma can live in both the mind and body. It creates space for more integrated and sustainable healing.

3 journaling prompts for practicing gratitude:
1. What’s a challenge I’ve faced that I’m now grateful for because of what it taught me?
2. Who from my past do I wish I could thank, and what would I say?
3. What’s something I’m looking forward to, and why does it make me feel hopeful?
