Christina Hull, MSW, LCSW

About Christina Hull, LCSW

Christina Hull is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing compassionate, integrative therapy to individuals and groups across Arkansas and Missouri. With a foundation in clinical training and lived experience, her work is rooted in the belief that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—but about reclaiming wholeness through body, breath, and story.

A Personal Touch

Christina’s therapeutic approach is shaped by her own journey with developmental trauma, alcohol use disorder, and chronic illness. This lived experience allows her to hold space with authenticity and depth—offering care that honors the nervous system, centers compassion, and supports long-term healing.

She creates a space where clients can safely explore their stories, develop emotional regulation skills, and reconnect with their inner resilience—especially those navigating trauma, chronic health conditions, identity transitions, or relational wounds.

A Professional Journey

Christina began her path in Social Work in 2017 while completing her Bachelor's degree, working as a Behavioral Health Technician in a therapeutic day treatment program in rural Arkansas. There, she supported students through crisis intervention, curriculum development, and family engagement—experiences that deepened her commitment to accessible, trauma-informed care.

In 2020, she earned her Master’s in Social Work and became a School-Based Therapist, providing counseling and support to students in rural Arkansas. Her role included collaborating with educators and families to address students’ emotional, behavioral, and social needs while promoting their academic success.

In 2021, Christina transitioned into a Remote Outpatient Therapist role in Missouri, focusing on trauma recovery, chronic pain, women’s health, and relational well-being. She pursued advanced training in EMDR, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness to better serve her clients.

By 2023, she moved into leadership as a Clinical Provider Supervisor, leading a team of ten clinicians and overseeing trauma-informed care delivery across rural Missouri.

Now in 2025, Christina continues to serve as a Remote Clinical Provider Supervisor and Outpatient Therapist, where she also co-leads the Trauma Service Line. In this role, she is helping develop a statewide initiative focused on expanding trauma-informed services for service members, veterans, and underserved communities. She is also expanding her private practice—Thrive Within Therapy Services, LLC, offering remote therapy services to individuals and groups.

Her work is further enriched by current training with Dr. Arielle Schwartz in Resilience-Informed Therapy: An Integrative Somatic Approach to Trauma Recovery, which integrates EMDR, polyvagal theory, somatic therapies, yoga-informed care, and parts work into a comprehensive framework for healing.

Integrating Movement into Healing

As a Certified RYT 200 yoga instructor, Christina blends trauma-informed yoga and somatic movement into therapy when clinically appropriate. These practices support nervous system regulation, chronic pain management, stress relief, and deeper embodiment.

Movement-based interventions are always optional and tailored to each client’s needs and comfort level. They are used for therapeutic regulation—not fitness or performance—and are paired with informed consent and clinical discernment.

Sage and Soothe Wellness

Outside of her clinical work, Christina leads Sage and Soothe Wellness—a separate, non-clinical space offering somatic education, coaching, and creative tools for personal growth.

Sage and Soothe is designed for individuals seeking nervous system balance, holistic well-being, and personal transformation beyond the therapy room.

Offerings include:

• Wellness Coaching
• Clinical Supervision and Consultation

Sage and Soothe is not clinical therapy—it’s a space for reconnection, embodiment, and intentional living.
