Christina Fakhoury
Rancho Cucamonga,CA
Summary
Hello, my name is Christina Fakhoury, and I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. Showing empathy, trust, and listening skills to future clients is essential, and I would like to use my skills with prospective adolescents and children who have gone through so many challenges and trauma. Growing up in the middle east has taught me how important mental health is for all individuals especially the teens and children that were never aware of it. Advocating and educating about mental health will promote ending the stigma and empower our youth to recognize and ask for the help they or someone they know need. There are moments when troubles arise, and we can overcome them together. I am bilingual in Arabic and English and would love to work with children, adolescents, and their families in the mental health field.
