About Me
I am Christine Pedretti, MSW,ACSW,LCSW and I have been in practice as a LCSW since 1993. I am a member of NASW and have my ACSW certification. I work with adults ages 25+. I have a patient-centered harm reduction approach based on affirming strengths. I strive to develop a working relationship based on trust, acceptance, kindness and encouragement to help you find the power already within yourself. I use a person centered approach to help empower you to become the best version of yourself. My approach is collaborative and somewhat eclectic. One size does not fit all and I try to use different modalities based on patient's needs and issues.
