Christine Costello
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I am passionate about using mindfulness and self-compassion to address self-criticism, increase self-awareness, and help you achieve your goals.
I help with anxiety, academic stress, body image, eating disorders, life transitions, self-compassion, self-esteem, social anxiety, stress management, and women’s issues. I have a strengths-based, patient-focused, holistic approach. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, I work with each patient to make steps towards their personal goals and overall wellness. I create a collaborative and accepting space from which patients can reflect on their lives, solidify coping skills, and move towards a place of healing. As a registered yoga teacher, I am passionate about using mindfulness and self-compassion to address self-criticism and increase self-awareness. I love reading, hiking, perusing farmer’s markets, practicing yoga, and spending time with my two beloved cats, Honey and Biscuit (and my human friends)!
