More about Christine
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with many years of experience working as an addiction and trauma counselor. I have an MA from NYU in counseling psychology. My experience also includes working with individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse including PTSD symptomology. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, chemical addiction issues, as well as individuals who have OCD, autism, and a wide variety of personality disorders such as bipolar and borderline.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, genuineness, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy with humanistic (person-centered) and psychodynamic features. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She's amazing, straightforward, honest, its as if i can understand her seriousness but theres no judgement. Very comfortable to be at ease and my natural self around her.
Christine helped me during a depression. She gave me techniques to allow myself to heal. Build confidence.
Christine is very knowledgeable in the eras she offers. She is easy to talk to and offers a -n objective ,empathic perspective that gives better insight. She is also patient and pays attention to small details. 10/10 would recommend her for someone who is new to therapy and wants a positive productive resault.
Christine has been an absolute rock throughout my recovery journey. From our first session, she created such a warm, safe space where I felt truly seen and understood. Her approach isn’t just about the techniques; she genuinely cares and meets me exactly where I’m at. I gained practical tools to help me manage my addiction and she’s been there through all the ups and downs, cheering me on and challenging me when I needed it. I highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for real, compassionate support.
