Christina Marin, Therapist
Welcome!
I am Christina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My goal as a psychotherapist is to help clients experience therapy as an engaging, inspiring, and transformative process. I value working with diverse populations and utilize an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities to best meet each client’s needs.
While I use various therapeutic modalities, my practice emphasizes a psychodynamic approach, exploring unconscious processes in present behavior to increase self-awareness and understand how past experiences shape current thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
My approach helps clients identify patterns in thoughts, emotions, and beliefs to build insight and self-awareness. I value witnessing growth and support clients in achieving their mental health goals and creating meaningful, lasting change.
My style is to provide each client with a warm, inviting, and safe space that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and empathic, helping them work toward their personal goals. I take a holistic perspective on the human experience and view each person as a unique individual, bringing their own strengths, resilience, and gifts into the therapeutic process.
