Christina Ann Tisher, PhD, LPC, LCPC, embodies the essence of the Greek word 'paraclete,' which means to come alongside. She views her role as a counselor as supportive and collaborative, journeying alongside individuals as they navigate life's challenges. Whether clients face a crossroads, seek clarity, make important decisions, or wish to improve their relationships with themselves or others, Christina considers it a privilege to accompany them on their path. Her approach emphasizes that clients are in control of their own journeys, with Christina serving as a navigator dedicated to helping them achieve their goals. For those unsure of their direction, Christina offers a safe space to explore these uncertainties together. Understanding that the right fit between a client and counselor is crucial, she provides complimentary 5-10 minute phone consultations, allowing potential clients to feel comfortable and ask any questions before beginning their first session. Christina is licensed to practice in both Missouri and Illinois.
