Great to meet you!

Christina Viera works with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. One of her specialties is working with LGBTQ+ populations. As a transgender woman, Christina understands and empathizes with her clients’ lived experiences. Some common things she works on with clients include gender identity, dating challenges, social justice issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Throughout your therapeutic journey, we’ll explore and get curious about how past events relate to present day thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We’ll then interweave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe your thoughts and behaviors.

If you experienced trauma and feel stuck, I’ll also use EMDR to facilitate reprocessing and give you tools to move forward. It’s my hope when working together that we not only give attention to your challenges, but also prioritize your growth process.

What you can expect from our first session

I create a safe, casual, warm environment that allows you to increase your awareness of both body and mind, while supporting you in making peace with your trauma.
