Christina Murphy

Hi, I'm Christina Murphy, LMFT.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 26 years of experience in the field of psychology and have been licensed since 2008. I am also a Certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA (the EMDR International Association), reflecting my advanced training and commitment to providing the highest standard of trauma treatment.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and work with individuals who have experienced both single-incident trauma and chronic childhood wounds. Many of my clients come to me after they've already done significant personal work but still feel stuck, disconnected, or unable to move beyond old patterns. They are often seeking a deeper level of healing—and that's where my work can make a difference.

My approach integrates evidence-based and experiential modalities, including EMDR, IFS-informed EMDR, somatic psychology, mindfulness practices, and inner child work. Together, we'll explore not only your thoughts and emotions but also how trauma is stored in the body and nervous system. I help clients learn to regulate their nervous systems, heal unresolved trauma, and develop a deeper sense of safety, self-compassion, and connection.

I believe that healing happens when we feel truly seen, understood, and supported. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can safely do the deep work of transformation at your own pace.

The first session we will discuss what's bringing you into therapy, and start to make sense of your current situation. We will discuss symptoms, how they're impacting you and how to better manage them. We will also discuss the goals you'd like to work on in therapy.
