Christina Chismar, LCSW

As an adventurous, fun-loving, creative person who is learning to thrive in this experience called life, my heart's desire is to live life authentically. I am learning that the keys to unlocking authenticity include: 

• matching who I am on the inside with who I am on the outside;
• finding true peace by honestly meeting the real needs of the body, mind, and spirit through who God has created me to be; and
• knowing how to navigate self-care, enforceable boundaries, support systems, and personal values.

​I am finding success in living authentically and my hope is to share what I am learning with others.

Being a trauma specialist for 21 years has given me the ability to better understand and help individuals and families heal. My cosmetology and clown training make me uniquely gifted to bring a depth to the healing process that involves the body, mind, and spirit.
