About

My name is Christine Denstaedt and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I appreciate the courage it takes to seek therapy. My foundational approach to therapy is based on how experiences create beliefs and beliefs influence our choice which can open our lives up for new possibilities. I am passionate about supporting people who are ready to discover how choice can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. My approach My therapeutic style is collaborative and treatment is tailored to the specific needs of each client. As a Gestalt trained therapist my work emphasizes an individual's unique experience, a focus on the present, the environment, and the therapeutic relationship. While Gestalt is my specialty, I am also trained EMDR trauma therapy, cognitive behavioral, grief work, Internal Family Systems, trauma informed, projective therapies, solution focused and somatic awareness and more. My focus I am looking to work with people of all ages who are experiencing the challenges that come with each stage of life and may be feeling defeated. I am comfortable working with many mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. My communication style Clients are invited to explore areas of their life within the safety of an virtual environment. Clients can work at their own pace while being encouraged to take safe risks and experimenting new ways of interacting with themselves and others. Clients can expect to be heard, valued and respected for how they have experienced the world and will be encouraged to explore how the mind, body and spirit work together to promote growth.
