Dr. Chris's Kids' Corner

Christine M. Rankin, Ph.D. ("Dr. Chris") earned her B.S. degree, magna cum laude, in psychology, and her master´s and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from Saint Louis University. Dr. Rankin completed her internship concentrating on clinical child psychology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkansas Children´s Hospital.

The supervised experience during her postdoctoral residency year and subsequent few years working at Behavioral Consultants, PC (St. Louis, Missouri) allowed her the freedom to develop her creativity as a therapist, taught her about group therapy and its effectiveness, and most importantly, introduced her to her first child client with Asperger´s Syndrome. Since that time, as a clinical child psychologist and licensed health service provider in Missouri, Dr. Rankin´s training has allowed her to provide accurate assessment and treatment of all children and adolescents.
