Crista is amazing. They’ve been my rock through a lot of crap the last several years. Every week, I know I have someone checking in on me, and every week I also know I’ll have time to be able to vent my spleen or work through something challenging with Crista as my guide, and the person who can respectfully and responsibly challenge me. They’re super effective at helping me balance caring for myself amidst my other obligations, and I’ve become so much better at advocating for myself, setting and maintaining boundaries, and exploring what makes me tick. Couldn’t recommend Crista or BH enough!

It was hard for me to get back into therapy from my last experience, but they have supported me and listened. They know my primary focus is and my concerns and each week they make sure to focus on the key points to make sure I'm getting what I need out of therapy. I would recommend them to anyone!

Crista has been such a wonderful and consistent support for me. I value their input and honestly more than I could ever explain. They are more than just a person who you unload on or get homework from. They have helped me to be more confident and to be far nicer to myself than I have been in the past. When I talk to them I am always feeling as though I don't want the session to end. I am so thankful for Crista, you should give them a chance! If the experience I've had is any predictor then you will not regret it!

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.
