Dr Christina is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. Anyone can call themselves a sex therapist. However, being certified by AASECT means she has demonstrated competency in sexology via their rigorous process and high standards of training and continued education.
Dr Christina is an active member of ISSWSH (International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health), attending conferences and staying up to date on the latest treatments available in the field of women’s sexual medicine. This also allows her a robust multidisciplinary network of professionals to refer to for adjunctive care.
She digs diving into areas of vulnerability. That’s her jam. She specialized in sexuality because while it can be tender or confusing, it’s also a beautiful, vibrant, exquisitely lovely and complex part of being human.
Dr McDowell has been in private practice for 22 years, and in 2012 she founded the Wellness Collaborative, a center of integrative practitioners. A former hospital social worker, she learned early the importance of living life to the fullest. Her formal education includes completion of her doctorate at Saybrook University in Integrative Health Psychology, an MSW from KU and a BA in Psychology from Rockhurst University.
In her off time she enjoys traveling to see her two adult daughters, hiking, writing, walking her dog Shiva who is literally like the Dali-Lama with fur, and hanging out with friends talking about the most random things.
