Welcome!

I am Christina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My goal as a psychotherapist is to help clients experience therapy as an engaging, inspiring, and transformative process. I value working with diverse populations and utilize an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities to best meet each client’s needs.

While I use various therapeutic modalities, my practice emphasizes a psychodynamic approach, exploring unconscious processes in present behavior to increase self-awareness and understand how past experiences shape current thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

My approach helps clients identify patterns in thoughts, emotions, and beliefs to build insight and self-awareness. I value witnessing growth and support clients in achieving their mental health goals and creating meaningful, lasting change.

My style is to provide each client with a warm, inviting, and safe space that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and empathic, helping them work toward their personal goals. I take a holistic perspective on the human experience and view each person as a unique individual, bringing their own strengths, resilience, and gifts into the therapeutic process.

I spent a months reading about different types of therapy and therapists. I read many, many profiles but I kept coming back to one. Christina Marin. Lifestance made it possible for me to see her although she wasn't in my "key". My geographical location. She's just over the line. I had my first session today and it went very well. It's hard and takes tremendous effort to start over with someone new but I came away from the session with the hopes that with Christina's help that I'll be able to break the patterns that are not leading to happiness and with a lot of work greatly improve my mental health. Here's to hoping! ❤️

Christina has been the perfect therapist I needed. She helped me transition through the some very difficult times in my life. She set a path of growth as a person that helped me not only to overcome the problems but to find ways that broke my unhealthy patterns. The progress made clearly shows in how well I’m responding to new challenges that arisen since we started to work together.

I always look forward to our sessions, as she is always able to leave me feeling better and stronger when we’re done. Thank you Christina!

The appointment went pretty well and there were a few technical glitches that we worked through. I look forward to see this therapist as my own.
