Christine Ledet Giella

It matters how and with whom we struggle in life. We need someone who will struggle well with us. Christine works with women in life transition, struggling adolescents, premarital couples, young married couples, those struggling with depression/anxiety, and those dealing with difficult family situations. She believes that counseling is a life-changing experience when individuals are heard, deeply understood, and called to change by an empathetic listener. She creates a safe and hopeful environment where clients can explore growth, develop healthy coping skills, and emerge from old patterns of thinking and believing. Along with aiding client’s self exploration, Christine teaches clients concrete skills for tangible and lasting change. These skills are drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which helps clients regain control of their emotions, communicate effectively in relationships, and improve overall functioning in work, life, and relationships.
