Cristina Guevara, LMHC-D, Therapist in New Rochelle, New York

Cristina Guevara helps adults move through emotional challenges with clarity, balance, and practical tools, providing individual therapy at LifeStance Health for patients across New York. She works with adults and seniors who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions, offering a calm, supportive space where growth feels achievable and collaborative. Cristina’s care is grounded in both compassion and clinical skill, helping patients feel understood while working toward meaningful, lasting change. Cristina is especially passionate about supporting individuals coping with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. She helps patients who feel overwhelmed by persistent worry, emotional lows, or past experiences that continue to impact daily life. Her approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and building confidence during midlife and later-life transitions, empowering patients to reconnect with their values and sense of purpose. Her therapeutic style integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support insight, resilience, and effective coping. In addition to her primary areas of focus, Cristina also provides care for a wide range of mental health concerns, including grief, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, substance use challenges, and women’s mental health issues. She offers therapy in Spanish for patients who prefer to receive care in that language. Outside of clinical work, Cristina enjoys swimming, running, yoga, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. These interests reflect her belief in balance, wellness, and staying connected, values that naturally inform her therapeutic approach.
