Individual Therapy

Her work emphasizes empowerment, collaboration, and self-agency, supporting individuals in creating meaningful change within a non-judgmental and supportive therapeutic space.
​
She holds a trauma certification and specializes in trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), with extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, neurodivergence, and substance use concerns. Christina incorporates evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic approaches, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD.
Christina is actively pursuing advanced training in OCD and ERP to further specialize in this area. Her approach is individualized, strengths-based, and grounded in a belief that therapy should honor each client’s lived experience while supporting lasting growth.
Videogame Therapy
Christina firmly believes that video games have a positive impact on mental health. She points out how video games have been used in therapy to address trauma, depression, and isolation. She also mentions the existence of prescription video games for ADHD. Moreover, Christina highlights the social aspect of video games, as they encourage conversations and help individuals develop communication skills and establish connections with others. Despite parents' concerns about video games disconnecting their children from reality, Christina argues that video games offer a unique immersive and rewarding experience. She considers video games as a form of art that conveys messages, and emphasizes the importance of parents being knowledgeable about the games their children play and discussing both positive and negative experiences with them. By adopting this approach, Christina aims to create a comfortable and trusting atmosphere for clients to discuss their daily experiences and continue addressing goals during therapy sessions.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a structured therapeutic approach that leverages the natural communication and learning processes of children. Christina utilizes the healing aspects of play to help children express their emotions and thoughts when they lack the verbal skills to do so. Toys serve as the child's words, and play serves as their language, aiding in the development of adaptive behaviors and addressing emotional or social deficits. The positive bond formed between therapist and child during play therapy sessions can lead to a healing experience, while also promoting cognitive growth and resolving inner conflicts.
At Charasmatic Counseling Services, we collaborate with you to identify and implement the therapeutic approaches that best align with your clinical needs, personal goals, and strengths, ensuring care is individualized, evidence-based, and responsive throughout treatment.
Walk and Talk Therapy
Group Counseling
ADHD Group Therapy
Walk and Talk Therapy is an alternative approach to traditional in-office sessions that combines psychotherapy with gentle movement and time outdoors. The process begins with the client and therapist agreeing on a location, typically discussed during the initial intake session.​During sessions, the client sets the pace of the walk, allowing therapy to unfold in a more organic, flexible, and client-led way. Many clients find that walking side-by-side—rather than sitting face-to-face—can feel less intimidating and make it easier to open up.​Walk and Talk Therapy can be especially helpful for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief and bereavement, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. By integrating talk therapy, physical movement, and the calming effects of nature, this approach offers a holistic way to support emotional well-being and personal growth.​If you’re curious whether Walk and Talk Therapy might be a good fit for you, please feel free to reach out for more details.
Group counseling offers a supportive space where individuals can connect with others who share similar experiences, reduce feelings of isolation, and build practical skills in a collaborative setting. Groups are designed to foster understanding, validation, and growth while honoring each person’s unique journey.
The ADHD group is designed for individuals who want to better understand how ADHD shows up in their daily lives, relationships, and emotional well-being. This group focuses on building executive functioning skills, emotional regulation, self-compassion, and practical strategies for managing overwhelm—all within a neurodivergent-affirming framework.
