Christine Badour , LMSW

Christine Badour is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience as a clinical therapist and intervention specialist. She has supported people facing a wide spectrum of concerns, including depression, anxiety and panic disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, communication challenges, bipolar disorder, borderline personality features, career transitions, ADHD, trauma, and post-traumatic stress. She has also worked extensively with individuals who struggle with addiction, including substance use.

Her therapeutic style is warm, engaging, and person-centered. Christine views each person as the expert on their own life and aims to collaborate rather than dictate, shaping treatment plans to reflect individual strengths and goals. She draws on a diverse set of approaches - cognitive behavioral techniques, humanistic and mindfulness practices, strength-based and solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, attachment theory, and didactic methods - to tailor care to each client’s needs.

Christine cultivates a compassionate, supportive stance in the therapeutic relationship, offering positive regard and encouragement while helping clients build practical skills for change. She emphasizes shared humanity and the importance of understanding one’s own challenges as a pathway to healing. Christine brings steady support for those navigating grief, relationship difficulties, mood instability, addiction, caregiving stress, self-esteem concerns, and other life transitions.
