My name is Christa Hale-Atkinson, and I am a daughter, sister, mother, wife, volunteer, and teacher, as well as a Registered Psychotherapist. I have always had a passion for helping others through challenges that they are facing, and I believe strongly in the saying “You are the designer of your destiny; you are the author of your story.”

With an Early Childhood Education diploma from St. Clair College, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Windsor, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University, I feel that I bring a unique background and perspective to the counselling profession.

I have been employed as an elementary school teacher for more than a decade and therefore I bring many acquired skills into client sessions, often explicitly teaching coping strategies, emotion regulation, mindfulness and relaxation exercises, etc.

I promise to offer a warm, caring, and judgment-free therapy space where you can feel wholly accepted. Rewrite Wellness is a place where you can share your story in all of its heartbreaking, ugly, tragic, or beautiful detail, without fear of criticism. Your openness in counselling is foundational to the change process.

Let’s work together to turn the page, and rewrite the next chapters of your story with a sense of hope and purpose.

I look forward to watching your rewritten story unfold.
