Christine Ewald

Christine Ewald is a licensed mental health counselor based in Iowa who also holds a professional counselor license in Arizona and training as an international drug and alcohol counselor. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and has worked in school settings, hospital environments, residential treatment centers, and outpatient behavioral health clinics.

Her therapeutic style is caring and supportive, combining different approaches to meet each person’s individual needs. Christine often describes the work as assembling a puzzle - the client brings the pieces and she helps arrange them in a way that makes sense for that person. She uses education and thorough history-taking alongside client-centered techniques, family systems ideas, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.

Christine believes people are the authors of their own life stories and views counseling as a space to consider when to close a chapter and when to start a new one. She helps clients explore options and gain fresh perspectives as they make changes at their own pace.

She specializes in a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, depression, LGBT-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Christine also has experience working with conditions such as borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, and codependency, as well as career and school stressors.

She looks forward to working with clients and learning their stories.
