Christina Fogle is a Trauma Therapist working to bring the TTT programming to communities impacted by violence. She provides therapy to eligible individuals, leads community workshops and staff trainings, and educates the communities she serves about trauma and mental health. Christina has been with CFAR for 2 years, and we are so excited to see how she utilizes her passion and expertise in the TTT program. Christina grew up in a home that supported mental health, and she was drawn to therapy due to her nature of wanting to help others. She strives to be the type of therapist that children can connect with, particularly those in the BIPOC community. From her experience growing up where there were very limited BIPOC therapists, she is happy to be able to show children that there are people that look like them to help them on their mental health journey. She was particularly drawn to the Together Through Trauma program, as she grew up in Wynnefield and attended Overbrook High School, and she hopes to help her childhood communities heal from the trauma of gun violence. In her free time, Christina enjoys travel, pilates, yoga, and meditation.
