Helping You Heal, Connect, and Thrive

Many of the people I work with carry the weight of early life experiences, painful family dynamics, or trauma they’ve never fully been able to talk about. Whether you’re navigating adoption or foster care, facing anxiety that won’t quiet down, or trying to mend relationships that matter most, I offer a space where healing and change are possible.

I’m Christina Vikesland, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor based in Blaine, MN. I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, guiding them through the messiness of life with honesty, compassion, and care. My role is to walk beside you as you move forward.

Why Work With Me

For over a decade, I’ve supported clients of all ages—from young children to older adults—through some of life’s most complex and tender challenges. My work is rooted in a deep understanding of trauma, adoption and foster care, family systems, and attachment wounds. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, or unresolved pain from the past that’s still showing up in the present.

Clients often come to me feeling disconnected from themselves, their families, or their partners. Together, we focus on rebuilding those connections and creating healthier patterns that support more meaningful relationships. I’ve seen firsthand how healing can take place when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and respected.

As a clinician and clinical supervisor, I bring not only experience but a steady presence. I value showing up authentically with clients, helping them feel safe enough to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Whether we’re working through relational conflict, trauma, or major life transitions, my goal is always to help you feel more grounded, more confident, and more connected to who you are.

My Approach to Therapy

Therapy with me is flexible and client-centered. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each session is shaped by your needs, your pace, and your goals. Some sessions may involve deeper emotional processing, while others might focus on building skills for daily life.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and the Gottman Method for couples. These modalities offer different ways to explore experiences, heal relational wounds, and foster lasting growth.

I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are—where curiosity replaces judgment, and where healing becomes possible through honest human connection. I want our sessions to be a place where growth feels possible.

Addressing Common Concerns

If you have questions and confusions, you don’t have to answer them alone.

Here are some of the challenges I help clients work through:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Adoption and foster care experiences

• Attachment wounds and early relationship disruptions

• Anxiety and persistent worry

• Depression and emotional disconnection

• Conflict within families and couples

• Struggles with communication and boundaries

• Neurodivergent identity and support needs

Our work together can help you untangle what’s been holding you back so you can start living with more clarity, connection, and confidence.
