Specializations of Christine Dassow, LMHC, NCC, ADHD-CCSP

Presenting Concerns

While I enjoy working with a variety of client concerns, in my 24 years of experience, I’ve been thoroughly trained and especially have an interest and expertise in helping people in the following areas:

anxiety and stress management (general and social anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD])

attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (concentration, organization, time management, hyperactivity, impulsivity, social/relationship implications)– Remember that I’m a ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP)!

academic concerns (motivation, procrastination, scheduling, career exploration)

self-esteem (confidence building, empowerment, self-advocacy, avoiding comparison)

adjustment to life concerns/transitions (going to or graduating from college, job change, relationship changes)

personal development (identity, spiritual, gender and/or sexuality questioning/transitioning/coming out)

*For more information on each concern above, click on my specialty pages for your specific topic, under the “Specializations” tab.

If your concern is not on this list, do not fear! I’d love to work with you if you’re struggling with other mental health needs. We can talk through any concerns in the initial call so no worries if you still don’t see yours listed. I’m here for you.

Also, take a glance at my online workshops to see if any would be helpful for your concern.

Theories

My sessions are crafted to each client’s unique needs with multicultural sensitivity and awareness. I include primary use of the following theories:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) including mindfulness and relaxation strategies

Expressive Arts Therapy (art, music, etc.)

Humanistic Therapy (Gestalt Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy)

Behavioral Therapy

I like to use creativity in my therapy, so I integrate interventions from other research-based theories as well, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Populations

Any adult seeking treatment is welcome in my practice. I’m an ally for marginalized communities including all races, ethnicities, religions, and the LGBTQIA+ population. I’ve worked at a university counseling center for the last decade and in school settings for the first part of my career, so young adults are my specialty age group.
