A Safe Haven for Healing

Christine Swanson (She/Her)
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
I believe that every person deserves care that honors their individuality, lived experiences, and goals for healing. I approach my work with compassion, curiosity, and a deep commitment to creating a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their mental health.
All About Me
I am double board-certified as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my degree from the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois, and began practicing in 2013.
​
I’ve worked in numerous settings, including outpatient psychiatric clinics for adults, adolescents, and children. I also have experience in the field of adult substance use treatment, including detox, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs. I welcome individuality and diversity, and I’m passionate about providing the best care possible for patients across all backgrounds and identities.
​
Outside of work, you’ll often find me kayaking, boating, or traveling—exploring new cultures and learning from the world around me.
