About Me
Welcome! I'm Christina McGrath, a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Board-Certified Coach (BCC), serving the Red Lake, Ontario area and beyond through virtual means. As a conservative Christian, my work is informed by the Judeo-Christian worldview, yet I am committed to supporting individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of their personal beliefs or spiritual identity. While my faith is central to who I am, my practice is designed for anyone seeking to navigate life's changes and transitions
With over three decades of experience in Social Services, and as a Registered Social Worker I bring a comprehensive understanding of systemic dynamics and client advocacy. My professional practice, however, is distinctly enriched by an extensive academic foundation in psychology. This includes both a Bachelor's and a Master's Degree. This background provides a scientific and theoretical framework for analyzing human behavior. It gives me a clear understanding of how the human mind works, why people think, feel, and act the way they do, and their emotions and motivations. This insight helps me better understand and navigate your individual challenges with you, to directly facilitate your change process, informed by a rigorous psychological lens, framed with a Biblical perspective.
With my Board-Certified Coach Certification and specialized training in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I utilize practical tools and a profound understanding of human behavior and a Biblical perspective to empower clients in making meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.
I've been through many changes in my personal, work, and family life, so I know how these big shifts can affect you and how you feel about yourself. I'm here to share what I've learned to help you find clarity, purpose, strength, and lasting balance as you navigate your own life changes.
My dedicated training in outcome-focused methodologies empower individuals to achieve specific life, career, or personal objectives (mental health and otherwise) with greater precision and accelerated progress. I bring the expertise to effectively navigate and facilitate your most significant life shifts in a comprehensive, scientifically informed, and specialized manner, helping you find outcomes rather than focusing on the problem.
As a mother of three, grandmother of four, and wife of 22 years, I truly grasp the complexities of life's evolving stages. My personal experiences and trauma-informed perspective allow me to create a safe, empathetic space where you can truly grow and flourish.
