Christine Heinisch

Christine Heinisch is dedicated to helping individuals who feel stuck in their lives. She understands that coping mechanisms developed in response to past challenges can become barriers to well-being and hinder functioning in relationships and communities. When clients find themselves in cycles of stress or trauma, they might create narratives of blame directed at others or themselves. Christine believes that by recognizing the biological, psychological, and social factors at play and taking responsibility for personal change, one can successfully navigate life's obstacles. Her interests lie in mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom as vital supports for this journey. With educational roots in both the Indo-Tibetan tradition and Western Psychology, Christine has equipped herself with a diverse array of methods tailored to each client's unique situation. A graduate of the Nalanda Institute's Contemplative Psychotherapy program, she specializes in Buddhist Psychotherapy, intertwining scientific research with therapeutic practices. Christine identifies as trans queer and non-binary affirming and upholds values that are anti-racist, sex worker friendly, and informed about non-monogamous relationships, ensuring a culturally sensitive and inclusive approach in her work.
