Christine Cogan-Mesa, LMFT, CADC-II

WELCOME! Congratulations on taking your first step in your wellness journey. I look forward to meeting you! BACKGROUND After over 20 years of counseling experience, I'm still passionate about the healing process of therapy. I am honored to "walk alongside" as you experience better relationships, stable recovery, and more optimal mental health. In addition to being a Licensed Therapist, I am also a: - Trained and Certified EMDR Therapist - Internal Family Systems Therapist (IFS Institute, Level 2) - Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor I specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction and codependency. WHAT TO EXPECT? My therapy style is practical, focused and collaborative. I utilize a multi-disciplinary approach - utilizing the latest research and clinical applications of neuroscience. I have a deep appreciation and interest in the intersections between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual/relational health. I believe in collaborative treatment. We will routinely revisit your goals to ensure we stay on course. I want to hear from you what is working for you...and not! You are the expert of you! Choosing the right therapist is important. To support you in this decision, I like to schedule a 15 - 20 minute telephone consultation prior to starting therapy. --- PLEASE NOTE --- I only accept adult clients for telehealth services within the state of California. Since I do not bill insurance, prospective clients are solely responsible to verify insurance reimbursement prior to initiating therapy. Feel free to ask me questions about this process, if needed.
