Christina Dungan - LCSW

Hey there & welcome! I’m Christina.

My goal is to build a strong foundation of trust and support, while meeting in a space that feels calm and welcoming. All you need to do is show up as you are; I will meet you right there, and we will navigate this journey together.

I like to start with foundational education to help understand and manage symptoms, but I love taking clients deeper for true transformation and growth. Sessions include open discussions and collaborative skill-building, ensuring self-determination. I balance validation and support with constructive challenging and reframing unhelpful patterns. I practice evidence-based models like DBT, IFS, CBT, and Gottman methods, incorporating a rich variety of workbooks, concept videos, card decks, and worksheets.

I earned my MSW and a BA in Psychology with a minor in Conflict Management, both from the University of Akron. Additionally, I completed graduate certificates in CBT and Divorce and General Mediation.

Across 10 years in clinical and community mental health, I am grateful to have supported children, adults, and couples across all ages, health needs, and cultural backgrounds. I prioritize inclusivity and equity for every culture, orientation, belief, and relationship dynamic. Outside the office, I love exploring nature, following local sports, and socializing with friends.
