Welcome to Oak Counseling! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my primary population is adolescents and those transitioning to adulthood. I enjoy getting to know each client individually to learn the best approach to individualize their therapy experience. This often includes strength-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused approaches to aid clients work through individual goals, barriers, and strengths. While I primarily utilize in-person sessions with children, I do offer virtual sessions for teens and young adults who may not be local to Williamsburg, or have transportation barriers.

I have worked with children and families, in the mental health field, for over 5 years and received my M.Ed. in Marriage and Family Counseling from the College of William and Mary in 2015. I have a particular passion and focus in providing children and their families emotional and behavioral support, while assisting them in managing life’s daily stressors and navigating difficult transitions. I utilize a person-centered, CBT approach to support my clients in identifying sources of resiliency, building coping skills, and improving communication and self-esteem.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a specialty serving infants, toddlers and pre-school aged children and their families, and also serve elementary school-aged children. As a parent and a professional, I know how challenging parenting young children can be. I also know how foundational the early years are to children and newly developing families. I want to support caregivers to figure out strategies for best supporting and encouraging their children's behavior. This can include supporting a child who experiences an unfortunate hardship/ trauma, a family experiencing difficulties, or a child who displays challenging behavior.

Trying to juggle the stressors of work, family, that dreaded daily "to do" list and fit in a social or personal life can be overwhelming. If you, like many others in the world have a history of trauma, whether it be due to occupation, childhood or situations that occurred in your adult years, managing daily life can be that much more difficult.

We're all trying to get through life....and we weren't meant to navigate it alone. Sometimes we just need an ear, a shoulder, or someone to even hold up the proverbial roadmap and walk alongside us to keep it moving forward. Life carries us through many seasons, often resulting in confusion, chaos, anxiety, depression, illness, grief, and traumatic events. Sometimes they happen as children and young adults, resulting in "stuff" we carry into our adulthood; this has an enormous impact on the quality of our lives. The good news is, there's help! You don't have to suffer alone and in silence.

Accepting New Clients. In-person or telehealth. Evening appointments. We all experience life challenges at some point that require a level of support and guidance that our friends and family may not be equipped to provide. Maybe there are problems in your relationship with your partner, child, or parents and you feel confused, hurt, or angry. Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety or sadness that has begun to impact the quality of your daily life. Maybe you’re struggling with low self-esteem or constant self-doubt. Or maybe you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward in life.

I am an LPC, specializing in adolescents and young adults, as well as families in crisis. I have experience working with addictions as well as severe mental health diagnoses.

My goal in session is for all those affected to be heard and feel safe. Mental health issues affect the entire family.

Welcome! It is my passion to help you live a happier, calmer, and more fulfilling life. Much of our inexplicable behavior and habits that hold us back is rooted in genetics, childhood, family dynamics, trauma, and circumstances. I can help you understand what holds you back and find healing. Working together, I can help you overcome difficult transitions, relationships and parenting challenges. You will improve your mood, change negative lifestyle habits, reduce stress, build confidence, uncover passions, and eventually become your true self. My specialties include high conflict relationships and emotional abuse.

Life can be difficult to navigate with challenges from the past and ongoing stressors which feels as if we're in a constant state of survival. Sound familiar? You are not alone. Therapy can be a safe space to explore and process these stressors, feelings, thoughts, etc. I work from a person-centered perspective to process your feelings, identify strengths, and help you access the tools you need to take back control to navigate the direction of your life. Through the art of processing information and applying evidence-based interventions, we will work together to meet your therapy goals and get a better grip on life.

My therapeutic style is strengths-based, client-centered, and collaborative. It is my belief that all of us possess skills that can be identified and adapted to serve us for the better. I incorporate emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, experiential, and narrative techniques into my counseling. I also find it beneficial to draw upon my background in human development and family systems. Most importantly, I strive to meet each client where they are in their individual journey.

Choosing a therapist can be difficult. Do you ever sense that your full story goes unnoticed? I'm Christine Ferguson, a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years experience specializing in ADHD and its accompanying traumas. Amidst ADHD, anxiety, depression, and societal pressures, we often grapple with feeling unseen and invalidated. But what if we reframed our narrative? What if we recognized our strengths, our innate 'superpowers'? Let's shift the perspective and embrace your unique gifts. With a focus on supporting late diagnosis ADHD I offer tailored guidance as we navigate your personal journey.
