Getting to know Albena Christova

Over the last 33 years, I have worked with children, adults, and seniors providing individual, family, and group therapy. If you choose to take the journey with me for personal growth and a happier life, I promise you a safe place where you can be your true self, express your feelings without fear of judgment, and explore your own needs and expectations. You can count on my unconditional support throughout the process of making choices that will lead to happiness and fulfillment in your life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Throughout my career as a Licensed Therapist, I have worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds in different Outpatient settings. I also have extensive experience with individuals who have been diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness as well as substance abuse disorders. I utilize Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist my clients in reaching their goals and achieving the best possible outcomes. Over the years I have been trained in different treatment modalities that may be used based on your needs. In the beginning of my career, I asked a prominent psychiatrist what treatment approach she was using in her practice, her reply was: “I don’t know the name, whatever works for the client!” Let’s find together “whatever works for you!” In your therapeutic journey we will work together as a team, but you are the real hero! As a Qualified Supervisor, I supervised and mentored many interns leading them to their fulfilling careers as mental health therapists.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a therapist I firmly believe that while we cannot control external circumstances, we have the power to choose how we react to them. Overcoming so many obstacles and changes in my own personal life taught me that we all are much stronger and more resilient than we believe at times. Let’s find this inner strength together! Forgiving, accepting and loving yourself are the key elements of happier life! If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step towards feeling better emotionally.
