Cristina Lorefice helps me a lot guiding me through a difficult time. She provides me with tools (psychologically) that I can integrate into my daily life that help specifically with my life challenges. She has a really positive aura and a great expertise that make me feel seen, heard and very well after each session. I can highly recommend her!

I am extremely grateful to have met Cristina, she’s an amazing therapist, but most importantly one of the most kind and thoughtful people I have met. She helped me overcome challenges that I never thought I could defeat. She truly listens to me, and often even remembers details that I forgot myself. I always look forward to our weekly session and truly miss speaking with her when I can’t make it. If you would like to have a kind hand helping and supporting you through your journey, whichever that might be, I can’t recommend Cristina enough!

Cristina is one of the best people I know. She is completely in my corner while still challenging me to find new ways to think about myself. Her approach to therapy is based in a deep understanding of people and our quirks. So grateful to have found her!
