Hello, and welcome to my page. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have been practicing since 2009.

Additionally, I have experience servicing those undergoing physical health challenges, like cancer, and journeying with them through grief and adjustment.
My style is empathic and attuned to my client's needs.

I use a framework of Emotion Focused Therapy (Johnson), Attachment Therapy (Bowlby), and Self Psychology (Kohut) with an experiential component.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre (performance) and English (writing) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Appalachian State University.

Working with Christina has helped me greatly. A safe space has been created for me to talk by her respecting my pace & validating my feelings. She is open to feedback and often makes adjustments according to my needs. She feels like an ally not an expert, gently guiding me along on my journey.

Written on Dec 07, 2021 after therapy with Christina for 2 years and 2 months
A problem with therapy in the past for me was not feeling like I was making progress. Christina got right to the point. 1st session she got to know me and helped to outlined my goals. 2nd she jumped right into understanding my narcissist partner and offered me other resources to gain a deeper understanding . 3rd she helped me figure out how to open dialog with my kids about our family dynamic without involving them in adult issues. This is just 3 sessions in! She doesn't keep it stagnant. She's made it so I can see myself making progress right away. She always makes me feel heard and reflects my thoughts back to me which not only makes me feel heard, but helps me to better understand my own thoughts and feelings that often seem so jumbled to me.

I have just had one session with my new councillor and she has been most respectful and has been communicating extensively with me to understand my needs and requirements. She sends me lots of relevant material to review and questions to respond to, as she believes we should make a quantifiable improvement as we work together. What I liked most was her opening statement is that SHE first stated that she would be there for ME, and that she takes her commitment very seriously. I am looking forward to making concrete and quantifiable improvements in my situation, as that is why I joined Better Help.

Written on May 04, 2019 after therapy with Christina for 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem
Christina has started off my experience so well. Especially in the awkward getting to know your counselor and vice versa moments, as someone who stresses easily in social interactions she was so kind, patient, and always made sure I knew I could be comfortable. I feel like she understands what I need well, and works and provides me with what I need. Having someone like Christina keeps me motivated for therapy, and that is a hard thing to do for me.

Her work with me has been a blessing.

Christina is great and has really helped me to start looking at things in a different way.

I thoroughly recommend Christina.

Christina Collins has been indispensable in navigating the tumultuous storms within my troubled mind. Exploring the very facets of the foundations of my inner thoughts and their machinations.
