Creating an environment where people can truly be themselves and feel safe at the same time is a critical part of therapy. I believe that having support can make a world of difference in someone’s journey. I believe in meeting clients where they are in life and strengthening the systems of care that they have around them. I aim to give client’s emotions precedence across treatment given its powerful role in structuring a client’s inner experience and patterns in relationship. I know that relationships are a crucial part of our everyday lives, that impacts us, and our experiences and I would like to help my clients navigate and process those experiences. I assist my clients in identifying relationship patterns and helping them discover how those patterns are being maintained, focusing on reshaping patterns of engagement with significant others.

 I am focused on creating an experience in therapy that is compassionate and empowering to every client’s growth. While working with couples, I have understood the need of meeting them where they are, understanding who they are as individuals and a unit and helping them come together to resolve their issues. In working with families, I understand the importance of reframing their presenting problem to allow for a different view of the issue that highlights the way one member influences another. This creates different possibilities in members supporting and caring for each other. I continuously strive to create a space where clients feel safe to vent, be challenged, and comfortable enough to grow. I have experience with working with a range of presenting problems, such as depression, trauma, sexual assault, anxiety and boundaries issues.

 My experience with working with the LGBTQ+ community has allowed me to be an ally through support and validation that allows for a space of healing and personal growth. Through my experience as a bilingual therapist, I aim to help clients have the space to process new transitions, culture and evolving identities. My goal in therapy consistently is to give a space to people who feel like they might not have none or have been overlooked. I aim to empower every client’s voice to advocate and stand up for themselves in every way it counts.

Christina Lewis, LSW (she/her/hers)

Welcome! My name is Christina Lewis and I look forward to our collaboration. I am a licensed social worker who has worked in a variety of settings with a diverse group of people. My professional background consists of working with children ages 5 and older struggling with complex behavioral issues along with adults exploring their relationship with substance use, adjusting to new diagnoses, struggling with healthy communication styles, and striving for overall psychological well being.

My experience has provided me with the foundational viewpoint for our work together: you are the expert in you. My goal is to support, encourage, and join you on your journey to having a deeper understanding of self. As we work together, I will utilize person-centered therapy approaches such as MI, CBT, ERT, and further combinations to help us best meet your needs.
