Christine Buzitsky LCSW

As a therapist, I believe my role is to create a trusting client-therapist partnership and foster a team dynamic to address a client's concerns. At the start of the first session, I establish that I am a part of their team to assist them in creating and implementing action plans to allow for growth toward reaching their therapeutic goals. Therapy work is a partnership on a journey in that I strive to provide the support a client needs and wants. Everyone's journey is unique, and working as a team with open communication is essential to finding the right balance for individual success. I encourage clients to remember that change is not always comfortable, but it can be an opportunity for positive personal growth; one just needs to be receptive to the opportunity.

I believe therapy must be individualized to the client. I am continuously seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge base on clinical techniques that will allow me to provide the proper support balanced with providing knowledge to clients in addressing their goals. I have specialized training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Using various modalities and creating a safe, non-judgmental space, my focus is to assist clients in finding their strengths to achieve their goals by creating a motivating outlook with self-compassion to reach their fullest potential in growing personally.
