Christine Ponte | LPC, NCC
She/Her
PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Hello!
I’m Christine. I am a therapist that believes in accepting you as you are, showing up authentically and offering a non-judgmental, compassionate, empathetic approach. I would be honored to be allowed the opportunity to get to know you. I believe that your life is your own story to write, and you get to decide what comes next. It is important that clients feel safe in my office - virtually or in person.
You are not expected to be anyone but yourself and come as you are. Sometimes life pulls us into dark lonely places that feel hopeless and endless. I can comfortably sit with you in those moments and listen to what it has been like for you. My role is to provide a safe space for you to know you are not alone, and that you are understood, accepted, and there is hope. I know firsthand the powerful impact of having a safe person shows up with empathy, understanding, and nonjudgmental support in some of the most painful moments in life. It fills my cup to do the same for others. Some of my favorite moments is when a person may say, “I feel like I can be myself in here,” or, “this feels like a breath of air I didn’t know was there.”
I specialize in treating PTSD, codependency, eating disorders, grief, depression, and anxiety. I am an affirming therapist for the LGBTQIA+ community. I am trained in inner child therapy, EMDR, brainspotting, shame resilience, art therapy and multiple other modalities I utilize in sessions to offer holistic care to each person. I received my Master’s of Education in Clinical Counseling from The University of Alabama at Birmingham and currently licensed as a LPC. I work with adults 18 and up.
I hope to hear from you soon!
