  • Christine Harrison, M.A., LMFT

    Throughout Christine's career as a Theme Park Construction Manager and Project Manager/Producer for children's edutainment, she continued to privately tutor children and help parents understand how children learn. Christine noticed that children's grades seemed to improve with general talks about challenges and feelings as well as with study skills. Since Christine felt more passion working directly with children and their parents rather than creating entertainment for them, she chose to become a psychotherapist, specializing in child therapy. She earned her Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 2011 and after completing a 3-year internship at Valley Family Center, she became licensed in early 2013.
