I've loved my therapy sessions with Christina! She really seems to understand what I need, I'm sure that is because she listens to me so well. I feel comfortable telling her all of my thoughts and past experiences. I would highly recommend her! She's super smart too!

Hey there, my name is Chrissy! I'm a fully licensed clinician (LCSW), with a Master's in social work from the University of Utah, and have a mighty passion for this work!
I am a big fan of implementing various modalities such as SFT, DBT, CBT throughout clientele. It is critical that we can really get to the root of the issues going on- digging deep and working our way up from there.
We all have scars, and you have the power to heal them. My mission is to be your personal guide on an empowering journey of self-discovery and growth. Imagine a future where you feel capable, resilient, and in control- that's the future I'm excited to help you create!
Let's build trust through open communication and a shared commitment to your well-being. The path may have twists and turns, but I believe you may can look back, grateful for the work you allowed yourself to do in order to make it to that summit!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
