Christina Andino
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You’ve been doing all you can to improve your situation, but it seems like you’ve hit a wall. The constant weight of anxiety, depression, or past trauma is taking its toll, affecting your work or studies and your connections with others. Burnout is creeping in, and you’re realizing you need some extra support. Maybe therapy is uncharted territory for you, and it’s natural to feel jittery about taking that first step. Together, we can devise a strategy to tackle and alleviate your stress. I’ll equip you with valuable tools for coping, communication, reshaping your perspective, and adjusting behaviors. My aim is to empower you, putting more control back into your hands over your own life.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
We all experience problems in life. Therapy can help address your issues to create a happier, meaningful and fulfilling life. People seek therapy for many reasons including depression, anxiety, past trauma, overwhelming emotions, difficult life transitions, feeling stuck, relationship, and family issues, and other mental health issues. We can work to resolve issues, reduce stress, and move on. No issue is too small or too big. Therapy offers the opportunity to learn about oneself, access your inner strength and lead the fulfilling life that you want. We can work to meet your needs in a warm, supportive and caring environment.
During our sessions we will explore current and past problems to find the source of what is keeping you stuck or unhappy. Together we will break unhealthy patterns and resolve underlying issues that are keeping you from living your best life. I will be your guide making sure that you are on your path to restore your joy and go where you want to go in life.
I use EMDR and Holistic methods to build hope, resilience, and insight. I help clients explore their struggles, recognize their strengths and increase self-awareness in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space. I believe that we can resolve your problems and re-define who you are today. You can move beyond your past and can get your life back.

Counselor/Therapist, LSW
I understand that sharing your vulnerabilities and opening up about your story can be difficult, but I believe everyone’s story deserves to be heard. I work best with clients who are ready to face these challenges, even if they’re unsure where to start. My role is to walk alongside you on your healing journey, offering support as we work toward a deeper understanding of your circumstances. Together, we’ll strive for personal growth, helping you create a more meaningful and balanced life.
I offer a safe, empathetic space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma, I tailor personalized treatment plans that focus on emotional stability and building on the resilience you already possess. Using evidence-based approaches, I ensure our work aligns with your personal values and unique needs. I also have a passion for working with children and teens who are navigating the complexities of parental divorce, helping them process their emotions and find healthy ways to manage change.
It’s a privilege to hear your story and walk with you on this journey. If you’re facing mental health challenges, I empathize with the weight they carry. When you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out, and together we’ll work toward a life where you’re not just surviving but thriving.
