Why Siesta Key Families Choose Therapy SRQ
Siesta Key is one of the most iconic barrier islands on Florida’s Gulf Coast, known for its award-winning white quartz sand beaches and laid-back village atmosphere. While the island lifestyle offers many advantages for families, children and teens on Siesta Key face their own set of challenges — from the social dynamics of smaller school communities to the seasonal shifts that come with living in a tourist destination.
Young people on Siesta Key may experience anxiety related to academic performance, social pressures, family transitions such as divorce or relocation, and the unique stresses of growing up in a resort community where seasonal population changes can affect friendships and routine. The island’s relative isolation can also make it harder for families to find specialized mental health providers nearby.
Christine Murawski’s practice is specifically designed for children, teens, and young adults. She holds certification in Play Therapy for younger children and uses evidence-based approaches including CBT, behavioral therapy, and family therapy. Her Sarasota office is a short drive from Siesta Key, making regular weekly appointments practical and convenient.

Do you work with children of all ages?
Yes. Christine Murawski works with children as young as 3, through adolescence, and up to young adults age 25. She uses Play Therapy for younger children and CBT-based approaches for teens and young adults, tailoring treatment to each client’s developmental stage.
What if my child is nervous about starting therapy?
It is completely normal for children to feel nervous about starting therapy. Christine creates a warm, welcoming environment and takes time to build rapport at each child’s pace. For younger children, Play Therapy provides a natural and comfortable way to engage. Teens often find that therapy gives them a private space to talk about things they may not feel comfortable sharing elsewhere.
