About Christine:
Hello, My name is Christine Kabanyoro. I am a first-generation immigrant and thrilled to be a part of your healing journey. As an immigrant, I have encountered obstacles that affected various aspects of my life, including access to healthcare, education, and employment. I have witnessed the profound impacts that mental health challenges and family dynamics can have on individuals as I have experienced these challenges within my own family. These experiences have instilled in me a deep sense of empathy, compassion, and recognition for the importance of seeking support. My journey into social work has been driven by my commitment to serve marginalized and vulnerable groups who often face barriers to accessing services.
I am a Master of Social Work (MSW) intern currently working towards my MSW degree at the University of Oklahoma. In my approach to therapy, I firmly believe in the transformative power of storytelling and the healing that can be unlocked through self-expression. My case management approach is centered on prioritizing your unique needs and building a strong therapeutic relationship, where your voice is heard, and your goals are respected. Together, we will collaborate to create a personalized plan that aligns with your values and aspirations. I can integrate mindfulness practices to help ground you in the present moment, foster self-awareness, and facilitate a sense of inner balance to help you cope more effectively with life's stressors. I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experience.
To schedule an appointment with me, please get in touch with our Care Coordinator team who will assist you with next steps. It takes courage and vulnerability to seek support and share your story, and I'm honored to start this journey with you. Remember, you're not alone; we are here to support you in every step of your journey to positive change.
