Overview
Choice Point Psychological Services
Where even our name delivers! You see, Choice Point is more than just a name. It has significance in that it is foundational to the work that we do. It was chosen based off a technique in Acceptance and Commitment therapy called the Choice Point developed by Russ Harris, Ann Bailey, and Joe Ciarrochi. The Choice Point is a powerful exercise and to us, it is symbolic of your healing journey. A Choice Point refers to a moment in time where you are faced with some kind of challenge or obstacle. You can either choose to continue behaving in patterned ways that may no longer be functional. Or, you can decide to pursue difficult but meaningful actions that are aligned with the person you want to be.
Karina, the Owner of Choice Point, found herself at her very own “Choice Point” when she decided to take a leap of faith and launch her own psychological practice. At her “Choice Point”, her husband had been recovering from PTSD as a result of chronic stress and numerous traumatic exposures during his decade-long career in EMS. Karina was working at a group practice at the time and it did not quite align for her. It was not long after that, the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the March 2020 lockdown. Facing several adversities, Karina made a series of values-guided decisions to create Choice Point Psychological Services.
