Christina Rudawski, PsyD, CADC, Psychologist in Barrington, Illinois

Hello, I am Christina Rudawski, PsyD, CADC. I help adults find stability, clarity, and confidence as they navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, memory concerns, dementia-related challenges, life transitions, substance use disorders, and general addictions. I also have a special interest in supporting military members, veterans, and first responders, recognizing the unique experiences and stressors they may face. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals after a psychiatric hospitalization, providing support during the transition back to daily life, strengthening coping skills, and reducing the risk of rehospitalization. My approach is practical, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. My work incorporates evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also provide psychological testing and evaluations when appropriate. As a Ukrainian-speaking psychologist, I value culturally responsive care and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. When I’m not working with patients, I enjoy reading, knitting, and cooking. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and improved well-being.
