Christina A Hoppin

Steadfast Center specializes in helping adults heal from recent and past abuse, neglect, attachment/relationship trauma, and other painful experiences. I understand how these experiences cause wounds that impact relationships, self-esteem, trust, beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world, and inner peace and can lead to chronic depression and anxiety. I believe in educating others about the physiological affects of trauma and painful experiences on the brain, body, and soul/spirit so that survivors of these painful experiences feel validated, experience normalization, and find hope that they can heal. I use a variety of approaches, including EMDR and somatic work to guide a client in finding the healing powers within all of us. My clients report feeling validated and understood. After participating in EMDR, clients report feeling more confidence and more peace and having healthier/more positive beliefs about themselves. People have come to me feeling broken, damaged, depressed, anxious, empty, angry and not understanding why. I am committed to offering hope, answers, and healing. I want my clients to experience validation and safety, and to feel heard, understood, and respected as a therapeutic partner in the healing process.
