About My Clients
Hello, I'm Dr. Christina Wei, a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience. I specialize in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and/or traumatic histories recover and learn how to live meaningful lives based on their values. For those interested, I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation to discuss therapy goals and provide an introduction to treatment options.
My Background and Approach
There are numerous milestones on the road to becoming a Clinical Psychologist. Most notably, I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Ohio University in 2013 and have been working as a staff psychologist at the VA since 2014 and licensed as a Psychologist in Washington State since 2015. My approach to therapy is to apply evidence-based practices while maintaining cultural humility. The treatment you receive will be guided by science that is tailored to your circumstances while maintaining respect for your individuality. I also strive to set optimal conditions for growth, which include unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and accurate empathic understanding. My theoretical orientation is Cognitive-Behavioral and I employ a variety of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies in my practice. These treatments teach skills for becoming aware of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and experimenting with new ways to respond that align with how you want to live your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everybody has their own struggles and do their best to manage them with the tools they have. For some people, anxious thoughts and/or trauma memories can derail them from the life they want to live. I find great meaning in providing education and helping others develop a better understanding of their learned behaviors, negative automatic thoughts and strong emotional reactions and learn new thoughts and behaviors that are more consistent with their values. My aim is to help people get unstuck and move in the direction they want to go.
