About
When life gets hard and you feel like things are just too much, call me. I can be that safe space to explore situations together. If you want to change your life but don't know where to start, therapy can help you to find new perspectives. In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you break free from repeating cycles that leave you feeling stuck. Together, we will reframe unhelpful mind traps and build practical tools for everyday life. Think of CBT as a short-term, empowering educational experience—one that equips you to see balanced perspectives and ultimately become your own therapist. I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), as it is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess stuck, traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge. Instead of just talking about the past, it uses guided, side-to-side eye movements to help the brain heal itself naturally. My name is Christine Ewald, and I am a licensed therapist in Iowa, Wisconsin and Arizona with over 20 years of professional experience in schools, hospitals, treatment centers and clinics. I approach my practice with a caring, supportive, and client centered style, using a combination of different therapies to meet the needs of each individual. Specialties: I work with clients learn coping strategies to diminish symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance use issues, relationship issues, or trauma. During our initial sessions, we will explore your story, create your individualized treatment plan, and work on ways to help you to improve your outcomes and find peace in your journey again. Credentials & Experience: I have over 20 years of experience in helping adults and families in crisis. I'm licensed in Iowa, Wisconsin and Arizona. Feel free to call or email me if you have questions about my qualifications and training experience.
