Welcome! My name is Christina Bratzler. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in

Illinois and a trained Art Therapist. I look forward to meeting with you and learning about

your journey.

Every person’s journey is unique and important. It is my belief that the therapeutic

space should be a safe space and a space where clients can be listened to, respected, and

feel that they are not alone.

With many years of providing a safe and therapeutic space, I have worked with children,

adolescents, and adults to facilitate healing and growth. I have guided clients in the

therapeutic process to address areas such as trauma, abuse, grief/loss, transitions,

parenting challenges, depression/anxiety, and other life stressors. I have worked in a

variety of settings including in-home, community mental health, youth programs, a

domestic violence shelter, and private practices.

My approach to therapy is supportive, inclusive, collaborative, and person-centered.  I

utilize various methods including but not limited to Motivational Interviewing, Art

Therapy, play interventions, Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,

and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Christina Bratzler is under the clinical supervision of Amanda Woollard MA, LCPC, NCC (IL license # 180007838)

Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find
it.
