Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my therapy practice stand out is my commitment to truly meeting each client where they are, with authenticity, compassion, and respect for their unique experiences. I take a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach that focuses not on “fixing” clients, but on understanding and empowering them. I prioritize building a genuine, trusting relationship, creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves without judgment. By blending evidence-based strategies with flexibility and warmth, I help clients develop practical tools while also fostering self-acceptance, confidence, and meaningful personal growth.

Modern Care Collective, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We created Modern Care Collective because we believe therapy should feel human.
We know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you have to fit yourself into a box just to get help. Our goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, pressure, or pretending to have it all together.
We bring real experience, honesty, compassion, and a little bit of humor into the work. Whether you’re navigating relationships, trauma, identity, mental health, recovery, or simply trying to figure out what comes next, you don’t have to do it alone.
You are not something that needs to be fixed. You are a whole person, and we’re here to help you understand yourself, find your tools, and build a life that feels like your own.
