Hello! My name is Christien Harden, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NC and VA), Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (NC) and Certified Clinical Supervisor (NC). While attending graduate school, my focuses were the LGBTIQ2+ community, Severe and Persistent Mental Illness, and Substance Use Disorders. At present, I provide all services virtually. Overall, I want to talk about the matters that matter to you.

I offer a wide range of therapeutic techniques including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Helps you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - Focuses on motivation and helping you to apply the skills to specific challenges and events in your life

Motivational Interviewing - Helping you resolve ambivalence, enhance motivation, and build confidence to change

During our first session, we will complete a thorough initial assessment, focusing on the matters important to you. Throughout our time together, you will learn and practice a number of strategies to work through the matters that matter to you. Life isn't always easy but, it should not always be a struggle. It is my wish to assist those struggling with mental health and substance use issues by providing an experienced, caring atmosphere to grow and heal.
