Crista is wonderful. They listen, show empathy, and support. They offer suggestions and do not make you feel dumb to be in therapy. I look forward to our sessions. I wish I could find a friend like them.

Crista is such a pleasure to work with. They’re so patient and kind. I feel I’ve made great progress dissecting my negative thoughts and returning to calm. They are real and straightforward, giving me the feedback I need to hear while validating my thoughts and emotions. I strongly recommend them!

I appreciate my therapist immensely; I actually look forward to talking to them. They make me feel comfortable and don’t judge me or question my beliefs or opinions. Even when I know I’m reacting poorly, they help me through it without making me feel guilty. It’s a slow process because I can be pretty stubborn, and they don’t even make me feel bad for that.

I’ve always been really afraid of therapy. I had a bad experience years ago with a therapist. But Crista has made me feel so comfortable and seen. They’re honestly incredible and I can’t recommend them enough. I’ve only been in therapy with them for a few weeks now, but I’ve learned so much about myself and explored my emotions and thoughts more than I thought possible.
