Cristina's Counseling and Recovery
Online Mental Health Therapist and Recovery Coach
If you’re exhausted from battling trauma, addiction, an eating disorder, or just feeling stuck in a cycle of pain only to be told you’re “too much” or “too broken” to heal. I want you to know: You’re not unfixable. You just haven’t worked with the right therapist yet.
My clients come to me after years of disappointing therapy, feeling unheard, dismissed, or even retraumatized by providers who didn’t get it.
Why I’m Different:
➔ Customized, high-end care for personal recovery. Skip insurance restrictions, rehab, and therapists who don’t understand how to guide you to the finish line. I give you the answers, you just need to be ready to ACT on them.
➔ No judgement. No BS. Just real, proven healing. Specialized in trauma, addiction, eating disorders and everything that comes with those struggles. No issue is too complex.
➔ A solution-focused, trauma-informed approach that actually works. No endless sessions going in circles about emotions.
➔ Nationwide virtual sessions that fit your life. No rehab, no stopping your life, just real progress.

My Approach
Solution-Focused
When seeking therapy, people are looking for answers instead of cycling through the same feelings. My solution-focused approach allows me to help you find the blind spots in your perspective so you can create a realistic plan on how to move forward in your life.
Harm Reduction
Whether you are dealing with addiction, self-harm, or self-damaging habits, I am here to meet you where you are at. Abstinence is not my goal if its not yours. Gradually reducing use and reducing harm has shown better results for long term recovery. My approach will allow you to make mistakes without judgement or punishment. We can learn how to reset together and continue to move forward.
Results
My approach has led almost all of my clients to experience the healing they wanted in just a few sessions. Therapy is not meant to last forever. My goal is to lead you to recovery and give you the skills to maintain a healthy life without me in a year or less. The quicker we create new habits, the quicker you get your life back.

About Me
I’ve been working in the mental health field for 10 years now. My first counseling job was working with offenders in prison and I felt myself become completely passionate about the impact I was creating. After prison, I worked with foster care kids and their families, provided counseling for adolescents in the residential setting, managed and developed programs to treat addiction, managed an eating disorder residential facility, provided live-in support for clients and their families struggling with all types of mental health issues, traveled around the United States to provide recovery coaching, and eventually opened my own practice.
