Hi, I’m Christina Bame, LCSW and Registered Yoga Teacher. As a queer, biracial/mixed race, gender fluid, and neurodivergent therapist, I bring both personal and professional understanding to my work. I offer a trauma-informed, holistic approach that integrates the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. My practice combines evidence-based methods like ACT and somatic therapy with creative modalities such as mindfulness, art, and movement.

My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can explore who you are, build resilience, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling college experience.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including outpatient services for individuals with severe mental health conditions, inpatient and outpatient addictions treatment, geriatric mental health, and community mental health. I also have extensive experience working with justice-involved individuals and understand the unique challenges that can come with navigating the legal system alongside mental health and substance use concerns.
