Hello! My name is Christena Lang, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor. I received my Bachelor of Science from Centenary College of Louisiana and my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I started my career with an internship in a psychiatric hospital before moving into a therapist role and later clinical supervisor in the drug and alcohol rehabilitation setting. Additionally, I spent time in Florida, where I began providing individual therapy to children along with associated family therapy. These experiences have led to advanced skills in the area of individual, couples, family and group therapy. 

 Currently, I work with ages 4 and up. I have advanced training in EMDR, Play Therapy, Sand Tray and am a Certified Autism Specialist. While I pull from multiple treatment modalities to best serve the client, I primarily utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Sand Tray, Play Therapy and EMDR when working with clients. Depending on the age, personality style and presenting issue, my approach to counseling differs from client to client. I can be firm and direct as well as more nurturing, educational and guiding in my approach. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, autism spectrum issues, parenting skills, LGBTQ+ and life transitions. Additionally, I provide Autism assessments, and I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist.

I am a firm believer in the power of knowledge. I am here to help figure out what/where your struggles are and then help educate you/your family on ways to better manage whatever is going on. I think it's important to feel heard, understood and truly cared for. When these needs are met, it's amazing how far we can progress!
