Cristi Porto

Welcome- I'm glad you're here. I'm a mental health therapist in private practice since 2013. I'm passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard. Using a client-centered approach, I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship issues, coping with life's challenges, and women's issues. I also work with men who are trying to get more in touch with their emotions and learn to express themselves in a healthy way. Together, we'll work toward clarity, balance, and healthier relationships.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I draw from both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. These approaches help individuals manage anxiety, navigate relationship dynamics, and address attachment related challenges from the past. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be holding you back, uncover deeper emotions, and create practical solutions that encourage growth and healing.

In our work together, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and empowered. Throughout our sessions, clients can expect to gain greater clarity around their emotions, practical tools to manage challenges like anxiety or relationship stress, and deeper insight into the patterns that may be holding them back. My goal is to help you build stronger connections, feel more grounded, and leave each session with a sense of direction and hope.
