Christine Badour, LMSW

Christine Badour is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan who brings more than eight years of experience as a clinical therapist and intervention specialist. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety and panic disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, communication challenges, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, career-related difficulties, ADHD, trauma, and PTSD. She has also worked extensively with individuals managing addiction, including substance use.

Her therapeutic style is warm, engaging, and person-centered, grounded in the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and that the therapist's role is to provide support and collaboration. She individualizes care by drawing from a range of approaches to create treatment plans tailored to each client's needs. Her methods include cognitive-behavioral techniques, humanistic and mindfulness practices, strength-based and solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, attachment theory, and didactic elements.

In her relationships with clients she emphasizes compassion and supportive engagement, aiming to offer positive regard and partnership as people work toward meaningful change. She often references Pema Chödrön's observation that compassion is a relationship among equals and a recognition of shared humanity. Christine holds an LMSW, a Michigan social work credential, and uses her experience and training to encourage and support individuals through their challenges. She looks forward to the opportunity to work together with clients seeking growth and healing.
