Dr. Christina Winters

Hello! I am an American psychologist and educator based in Rotterdam. I have lived in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and United States for the past 13 years. I am a caring and socially concerned lifelong learner who has always been interested in people and relationships. 

I moved to the Netherlands in 2020, and in 2022, inspired by personal experiences during Covid, I started an online Grief Support Group that is still on-going. During this time I came to understand many systemic issues in the field of mental healthcare. I've dedicated the majority of my professional life to keeping people and organizations safe. I adopt an anti-pathology and non-authoritarian approach to care, which means I don't endeavor to provide mental health diagnoses and I hope to foster a collaborative therapeutic bond that emphasizes your autonomy.

I am trained in Narrative Therapy and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), both therapies that focus on life history narratives. Narrative Therapy focuses on how individuals create and tell stories about their lives and helps individuals re-author their stories in order to empower them to challenge limiting narratives by creating new stories that align with their values and goals.
