Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with children and adolescents navigating emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. This can include anxiety, mood changes, school difficulties, peer relationships, family stress, and life transitions. My approach is warm, developmentally appropriate, and strengths-based, helping young people feel safe expressing themselves while building skills for emotional regulation, communication, and problem-solving. I incorporate play-based and creative techniques with younger children, and a more collaborative, insight-oriented approach with teens. I also work closely with parents and caregivers to support consistency, strengthen relationships, and create a more supportive home environment. My goal is to help children and adolescents feel more confident, understood, and equipped to handle life’s challenges.
