Clinical Director

In January 2025 Dr. Koehler began a sabbatical to focus on a newly launched community mental health initiative using the Five Needle Protocol (5NP).

This low cost, low risk, non-medication auricular intervention is a powerful behavioral health solution that can be used to address trauma, addiction, and physical, emotional, and psychological stress. Many big projects are coming to fruition!

Dr. Christine Koehler blends rigorous clinical training with holistic vision. She began with advanced coursework in clinical psychology before earning her PhD in Counseling at the University of North Texas in 2012.

Christine continued to pursue holistic training in 2017, completing the RYT-200 yoga teacher training and health coaching with Epidemic Answers. Dr. Koehler earned the credential for Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (ADS) in 2023 rounding out a truly holistic and integrative approach to community mental health and wellness. Christine also offers clinical supervision to LPC-Associates in Texas.

In 2025, she helped with the launch of 5NP Texas as a non-profit entity with the goal of training providers to administer five needle protocol auricular needles to all Texans for physical, emotional, and psychological stress relief. Since then, Christine has created a unique curriculum and training approved by the Texas Medical Board to educate more providers in the Five Needle Protocol and other aspects of auricular medicine. In partnership with Integrate Auricular, Christine offers continuing education for licensed professional counselors on the benefits of auricular modalities for mental health and wellness. You can experience the benefits of this remarkable modality by attending a sound immersion session with auricular therapy at local venues in DFW. Follow us @healingbeyondmedicinetx
