ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Are you feeling down or overwhelmed? Do you feel alone in a room full of people? Do you need help with identifying appropriate life goals; developing effective coping skills; improving stress; alleviating depressive symptoms or embracing life. People enter counseling for many reasons, from anxiety, stress, mental health fitness, depression, trauma and grief. Still others are curious to discover more about themselves and keen to enrich their relationships and inner lives. Whatever your circumstances, counseling can be the first step in an empowering journey of self-awareness and change.

My educational background includes an M.A. in Psychology from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, and an M.A. in Forensic Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

I am committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment for clients of all ages.

Each of us reach a point in life where we need to pause, breathe, and restart. For some of us that restart will happen on our own for others of us that restart will require someone a few steps ahead of us to reach back and give use a hand. I would be honored to explore the obstacles in your life, identify the changes you want and deserve while providing you the tools to create a life that you are proud to show the world.

We strive to better our lives, our relationships, or our families (or all three!). Sometimes, we just need a little help. That is what I want to offer you: a little help.

I love working with individuals, couples, families and children who are ready to undertake a journey of growth.

If you've been in therapy before and still struggle with unresolved issues, a more comprehensive approach may help. I am a strong proponent of working with the whole body to address emotional difficulties. Research has shown that present day mental health challenges which originate from early life experiences very often require intervention with the parts of our system which hold pre-verbal memories and conditioning. Using both cognitive (brain-focused) AND somatic (body-focused) interventions ensures that all parts of our body are integrated into the healing process.

Life can often be unpredictable and more dynamic than we are sometimes able to handle on our own. It is very easy to feel stuck, lost, hopeless, and even overwhelmed if we believe that we lack the resources and know how to approach our adversities. In the face of our challenges it is sometimes difficult to identify helpful solutions. This is how I may be helpful to you. Together we could explore what's possible and investigate solutions that work.

We have therapists (Licensed, Associates and Graduate Students Interns) who specialize in different age groups (teens, young adults, middle age, and elderly), constellations (individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy), and targets (pastors & missionaries, EMDR, affair recovery, blended families, veterans, grief & loss, etc.). If a client requests to incorporate Christian spirituality into counseling, our therapists are well trained to do so. However, we are incredibly respectful of our clients’ faith beliefs, including those who profess faith and those who do not.

Hi there, my name is Christine Italiano-McDade and I have a passion for people! I have been working with children, adolescents, adults, and families for approximately 15 years.

It is necessary to have the proper equipment in order to prevent serious injury. Even with adequate equipment, sometimes accidents happen, and points present throughout the journey that have you contemplate turning back or giving up. In therapy, motivation is one of the key pieces of equipment you need.
