About Us

Christian Dozier is a Licensed Professional Counselor offering individual and couples therapy, couples sex therapy, family therapy, and tween/adolescent/college age therapy. Christian takes a collaborative holistic approach. With your consent, she will work with your care team (psychiatrist, primary care physician, individual therapist if attending as a couple), to provide collaborative care.

Christian’s prior experience as an FBI Special Agent, Director of Child/Adolescent Therapy, Therapist, Social Worker, child/teen mentor and dance coach, and experience working with individuals with anxiety, stress, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, low self-esteem, adjustment disorders, sex related issues, and after birth adjustments, gave her the experience to provide the upmost professional and quality therapy service.

Tween/Teen/Young Adult Experience

Christian’s ability to relate to tweens/teens/young adults is rooted in her commitment to meeting them where they are and allowing space for them to grow at their own pace. Christian has patience and takes time to understand the perspectives of tweens/teens/young adults to then know how to guide them.  Christian has seen that sometimes well-meaning adults discount a tween/teen/young adults’ experience because of their age, and a reluctance to believe it should or could be as intense as expressed. Christian provides a space for all tweens/teens/young adults to express themselves and their experiences. Christian emphasizes that tweens/teens/young adults are not alone in their experiences, and they are heard. 

Family Therapy Experience

Prior to earning a master's degree in child and family therapy, Christian worked to improve the lives of families and children. She began her career in 2003 as a foster care social worker in the city of Philadelphia. Christian worked with families by providing counseling services to youth that exhibited behavioral difficulties as well as their biological parents. Christian was able to help families establish and maintain an amicable home environment. Christian also advocated for families during court proceedings in order to help families reach their goals in achieving stabilization. 

Christian believes in the family unit.  Christian provided parents with the support they needed to feel confident again and to be able to show up for their families. Being a parent is a full-time job that requires a lot of learning, crying, adjustments, sacrifice, understanding, insomnia, and constant worry about the safety and well-being of their child(ren). Christian understands the stressors of a parent from her personal experience of being a mother, and experience in the field of social work and counseling. Christian offers parents a space to be real and express the things most parents think but wouldn’t dare say to others. Christian is very understanding and welcomes parents to her space.

Sometimes, even highly invested loving parents aren’t aware of all the underlying issues behind their child’s behavior.  Seeking therapy can help parents better understand their child as well as provide treatment.  You don’t have to do this alone.  Help is available.  Christian has experience with identifying problematic behaviors in children and offering treatment going forward.

General Therapy Experience

Christian Dozier began her professional therapy career in 2013 as a graduate intern. After obtaining a master’s degree in counseling psychology, with an emphasis on Child and Family Therapy, she became an associate level therapist. Christian worked for five years post-graduate as a generalist therapist providing individual therapy, child therapy, teen therapy, family therapy, couples counseling, and sex therapy. Christian took pride in working with people to identify their strengths and build upon them to help improve the reasons they sought therapy.  Christian believes that communication is the key to having successful relationships.  Her clinical work drew from Behavioral, Cognitive, Cognitive Behavioral, Gestalt, Imago, Marriage and Family, Mindfulness, Multicultural, and Trauma Focused therapies. As an African American Female Therapist, Christian offers a range of perspectives, knowledge, and wisdom.

Trauma Advocacy Experience

While working as a therapist, Christian also worked for the Philadelphia Children’s Alliance (PCA) as a forensic interview specialist. As a forensic interview specialist, she obtained statements from children, tweens, and teens and adults with disabilities in which a sexual or physical abuse allegation was reported and/or a murder or death occurred, and the child/tween/teen/adult was present.  Statements were obtained in a developmentally appropriate manner that is unbiased and legally defensible.   

In 2018, Christian left both positions to work for the FBI. There she sought justice for the victims of sex trafficking and made it her mission to help them work thru their trauma to succeed as adults.  At the FBI she investigated Child Sexual Abuse Material, sextortion, tender age kidnappings, missing children, and Human Trafficking violations.  In her role she used various techniques to gather and analyze evidence. She conducted searches, surveillance, and interviews.  She led hotel operations to recover juvenile sex trafficking victims.  She coordinated with local law enforcement partners, community liaisons, and human sources.  She worked with multidisciplinary teams comprised of FBI Victim Specialists, Homeland Security Special Agents, local law enforcement, Department of Human Services social workers, FBI Forensic Interviewers, and Assistant United States Attorneys.  Christian built cases against the traffickers and had them prosecuted federally and locally. 

Christian has a plethora of knowledge and experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. If you are seeking an experienced and knowledgeable therapist that possesses compassion, understanding and empathy, Christian is an excellent choice.
