Christine Flowers

• State of Nevada registered intern in Marriage and Family Therapy who is eager to collaborate with other professionals to provide educational awareness and comprehensive clinicaltreatment to young adults who are navigating mental health issues.
• Strengths include an emphasis on empathy and cultural awareness, a highly self-valued work ethic, a choice to work from a place of curiousity when working with young adults.
• Therapy style incorporates a person-centered approach that employs techniques from various evidence-based therapy models (CBT, ACT, DBT, EFT, solution-focused, narrative and others).
• Career began in communications where an appreciation for language grew beyond simply transmitting information; language can be a powerful tool for young adults as they communicate emotions, attach meaning to their experiences, and discover their identities in a complicated world.
• Seeking a professional-level position related to counseling and therapy that allows me to blend my clinical therapy skills with my communications background to make a positive impact on college students’ mental health care needs.
