Why does this keep happening?
You’ve asked it in the car. In the shower. In the dark.
What twenty-five years of practice shows
The relationship. The job. The family. The money. The same argument.
They look like five different problems.
They’re one pattern, in five disguises.
There’s a moment clients describe almost word for word —
“Oh. That explains everything.”
Thirty years reorganize at once. Events you’d filed under bad luck, bad picker, or something wrong with me snap into one intelligible line. You stop being a mystery to yourself.
What twenty-five years of therapy has taught me
The pattern is not random.
It usually has a beginning.
Most people spend years trying to fix the symptoms. The work is not chasing every new problem. It is finding the original pattern that quietly keeps creating them.

Questions people ask before they reach out
You may recognize yourself before you know what to call it.
You do not need another list of coping skills. You need to understand the pattern that has been quietly shaping your life. That is the work we do together.
Meet Bonnie
Bonnie Christensen, LMHC
For more than 25 years, I have helped people understand why the same problems keep returning in different forms.
Most people do not need another list of coping skills. They need someone to help them see the pattern they have been living, where it began, and why it still shows up now.
“My clients don’t need to be told what’s wrong. They need someone to explain why it keeps happening.”

Client responsibility: Clients are responsible for understanding copays, deductibles, coinsurance amounts, authorization requirements, and any non-covered services. Benefits may be verified before services begin when possible, but verification is not a guarantee of payment by the insurance company.
Payment transparency: Clients have the right to receive information regarding fees, billing practices, cancellation policies, and estimated costs of services. Clients who are uninsured or who choose not to use insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the expected cost of services.
Private pay: Some clients choose private pay for privacy, flexibility, and continuity. Private pay does not require insurance authorization, diagnosis-based billing approval, or claim submission to an insurance company.
Avoiding the cost of therapy does not always mean avoiding the cost of the problem.
