About Christine

Christine Dennstedt, PhD, MA, RCC-ACS is a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Whistler, BC. For more than two decades, she has walked alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate grief, disordered eating, relationship challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and the tender complexities of being human.

Christine began her career in Vancouver, working with young people affected by substance use, and has since practiced across a wide range of settings — including non-profit organizations, outpatient clinics, and residential programs. These experiences have shaped a deeply relational, compassionate approach to therapy that centers people’s own wisdom, values, and lived experience.

Her work is informed by narrative therapy and contemplative psychology, with a focus on slowing down, listening closely, and creating space for what already knows. Christine believes healing happens in connection — through conversation, curiosity, and the honoring of each person’s unique story.

Alongside her clinical practice, Christine is a longtime educator, supervisor, and workshop facilitator. She teaches and presents internationally, supporting therapists and organizations in developing thoughtful, ethical, and human-centered practices. Writing, teaching, and therapy are woven together in her work — all rooted in a commitment to care, reflection, and meaningful change.
