Christina has been one of the most important people in my corner. I began therapy about a year ago, and since meeting her at such a trifling time in my life; I honestly couldn’t have handled or gone through all those different emotions in such a short time, without her. Yes, she is a therapist and she’s great at her job, but my sessions don’t feel like sessions, it’s just a comfortable, common space, where I’m heard and I feel heard and understood. That’s the biggest part, when you don’t always understand yourself, or you don’t think nobody else does. Once in awhile, you meet someone who understands you better than you think you do. And it’s really, really nice. She’s that person for me.

Christina has made such an impact to my Life since I started therapy. Her presence alone makes every session such a therapeutic experience; it feels like we have known each other all of our lives. I always feel better after our chats and I’m left with more clarity on certain things that I tend to question day to day.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have worked with quite a few mental health professionals in my life, none have been more effective than Christina. Working with her has been hugely impactful. I have been dealing with some extremely difficult situations and she has guided me through in a way I could never imagine doing on my own.

Jan 2023

Christina is an amazing, insightful therapist. She has helped me and my family address and work through long-standing issues in a very short amount of time. Her intuition and the guidance she provided were extremely helpful as we worked on issues in between sessions. I’m grateful to have been matched with her and greatly appreciate all she has done to support my family.

Dec 2022

I would recommend Christina to anyone who wants to achieve honest self reflection, and break through the unproductive cycles in their life. Working with her has been an amazing experience. As someone who has prior experience with a variety of mental health professionals, she is the best. If you are ready to do the work and help yourself, Christina will help you on this most important journey in ways that will surprise and astound you in gratifying ways

Christina actually cares to explore my feelings and my past, she makes me feel seen and heard

Nov 2022

Christina is wonderful. I was apprehensive about staring therapy again after having lackluster experiences with therapists in the past but she was patient and considerate of my concerns and worked with me to provide the support and help I was looking for. She's very experienced in a wide variety of areas - I feel like no matter what I came to her with, no matter how unrelated or different it was to topics we had discussed previously, she knew exactly how to guide me through it. I can't recommend her enough.

Christina Woods was matched as my therapist at the end of the summer. Honestly, before she was introduced to my life, I have had to work with my anxieties and depression alone. I have noticed a change in my thought process on various situations that I am dealing with. She is so patient and understanding. She checks in on me periodically in between our sessions. Whenever I have a thought or clouded judgement I message her about it and she responds and reminds me of the things that sometimes I don’t even think about. Christina has made my new experience with therapy a smooth one. I am grateful to have met her and I look forward to speaking with her every week.

Oct 2022

Christina is patient, kind, very welcoming and feels like a safe place to talk to, which is very important to me.
