Why Lakewood Ranch Families Choose Therapy SRQ
Lakewood Ranch is one of the fastest-growing master-planned communities in the country, home to over 48,000 residents across more than 30 villages in Manatee and Sarasota counties. The community is known for its A-rated schools, family-friendly neighborhoods, and active lifestyle — but even in thriving communities, children and teens face real mental health challenges.
Academic pressure at top-performing schools, social dynamics in large peer groups, the stress of competitive youth sports, and the challenges of growing up in a digitally connected world can all contribute to anxiety, depression, and behavioral difficulties in young people.
Christine Murawski specializes in working with children (ages 3 and up), teenagers, and young adults. She holds specialized certification in Play Therapy for younger children and uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavioral modification, and family therapy to help young people build coping skills and resilience.
