Meet Christina Kantzavelos, a mental health professional working with individuals with chronic illnesses. Living with various chronic illnesses of her own, Christina struggled to find a therapist that had an understanding of what she was going through, where the burden of education was not put on her as the client; but when she did, a whole new world opened up that led her to where she is today. Along with working primarily with individuals experiencing chronic illness, Christina is developing a continuing education course to help educate therapists on chronic illness.
