Lanterna’s Approach
Christine’s approach to therapy and supervision is informed by her unique background as a behavioral health executive, licensed clinician, and clinical supervisor.
Having served in senior leadership roles in a wide range of behavioral health settings, Christine understands how to build and optimize systems that foster healing. This experience ensures that Lanterna’s practice is grounded in operational excellence, rigorous ethical standards, and the consistent application of evidence-based practices.
Lanterna’s clinical approach is informed by a Christian lens of the person that views the psychological, philosophical, and theological dimensions of personhood as an integrated whole. In keeping with this perspective, Lanterna clinicians believe all persons possess intrinsic goodness, dignity and worth, and hope for healing, meaning, and flourishing.
