Christine Sumpter, MS, LMFT

"Christine has a wealth of knowledge and experience and helped me get through some very difficult issues. She is professional, compassionate, insightful, and thorough in her approach to therapy with me. I truly appreciate her helping me get healthier."

"Christine is the best. Initially, I was nervous about seeing a therapist. I can't explain why. But when my first session started, I felt comfortable and opened up. Christine is warm, compassionate, and intelligent, and she was not afraid to tell me what I needed to hear, even if it wasn't always what would make me feel warm and fuzzy in the moment. I'm grateful to her for that; I can't say enough about her. If you're struggling with family issues, childhood trauma, or just general anxiety about life, I highly recommend you see Christine."

"She made me feel so bad about myself I almost felt suicidal. I am very fragile these days after having lost my husband of 24 years - the love of my life. She knew this. I came to her with so much hope and faith, it’s very sad that she thoroughly let me down. The first few times we went for a couples therapy, she kept almost-berating me about how my adult kids are still living at home and why I’m still supporting them even though she knew the situation of them having lost their dad, their hero. My awesome new guy had a problem with that, but I would tell him it’s ok thinking that, maybe, it was part of her plan, though I can’t figure out why since my kids are not at all part of the issue. My man complained a lot about her that it was getting annoying. Every session she made sure she touched up on the fact that I haven’t “launched” my adult kids. But more than anything, I felt harshly judged by her rather than understood. I was under the impression that a therapist helps to explore our unhealthy ways in order to see how it can be made better. But, she didn’t. She took sides, instead. Took my bf’s side. Even if she was right about agreeing with my bf’s side, she could have at least tried to help me understand why I was behaving a certain way instead of just insinuating that I was in the wrong. I regret going to her. Wasted time and money. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt multiple times, but it came back and bit me in the behind."

"Used her for family therapy within a divorce situation 4 years ago. She seemed really great in the beginning, but then I found out that she was counseling my kids that any complaint they had about their father was invalid and that everything he did he did from a place of parental love. OMG how naive can a therapist be??? His narcissist tricks worked so easy on her I was amazed. The kids never trusted her because they said she was just there to keep their father happy. Worst child therapist EVER. It has taken them several years to heal from the mental and emotional abuse he did, but it helped when we found a therapist who understood narcissist parental patterns."

"Christine is truly one of the most caring, attentive, and brilliant human beings I have had the pleasure of speaking with. At a time when I was overwhelmed with grief, anxiety and depression, she guided me through the storm and helped me come out a better and stronger me. She relays logic and reason in her guidance, and in doing so she has helped me to apply it and resultantly, come to live my best life. I have her to thank and I am sincerely so grateful for having made the decision to see her. I have every bit of confidence that anyone else would feel the same way. In fact, I can guarantee it."
