Getting to know Christina Baines

Hi there, I'm Christina! I work with teens and young adults, and I especially love supporting BIPOC clients figuring out who they are (while everyone else has an opinion about it). My space is low-pressure and judgment-free; you don't have to perform, explain yourself twice, or have it all figured out before we talk. Come chat. My focus I work with teens and young adults, with a special focus on BIPOC clients. Whether you're untangling identity, family expectations, friendships, or the pressure to have it all figured out, I want to help you find clarity and confidence on your own terms; not anyone else's timeline or definition of 'okay.' My approach I show up as my real self, not a scripted therapist voice because trust is built, not assumed. We move at your pace. My goal is simple: give you a soft place to land, where there's no judgment, no pressure, just room to breathe and be truly seen. My communication style I'm casual, I swear, and I don't code-switch depending on who's in the room. You don't have to perform respectability here; show up talking however you actually talk. Expect real conversation, genuine laughter, and zero clinical distance. This is a space to exhale, not perform. My journey to mental healthcare I've been the client: divorced, a newborn on my hip, chasing a master's with no real direction. Then a cultural competency counseling course, taught by a Black professor, cracked something open in me. That spark told me exactly where I needed to be. This work isn't just my career y'all, it's personal. My goals for you I help you get there by empowering you, not directing you; you set the goals, I support the work. You'll have a space to just exist and share without judgment, paired with warm, honest feedback when it's useful. We'll bring in therapeutic tools as they genuinely fit you, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
