Christine Baccari
Christine graduated from Creighton University with a B.S. in Psychology and a Certificate in Business Administration in 1992. In 1995, Christine obtained a Masters Degree in Counseling from Creighton. Since that time, Christine has been working in the criminal justice field and specializes in substance abuse evaluation and education. She works predominantly with private attorneys, probation officers, schools and private referrals.
Christine prides herself on being independent of any treatment programs and in being as objective as possible with her evaluations. Christine is fair and genuine and considers all relative information when making a recommendation to the court. Christine has developed a DUI/Alcohol Education Class to insure that individuals get the maximum information necessary to change their attitude and behavior regarding the consequences of driving under the influence.
Christine is aware of the likelihood to re-offend and has attempted to develop a program to assist individuals in not only changing their thought patterns, but also in recognizing high risk situations in order to reduce repeat patterns in the future.
