Getting to know Christina Borghese
Christina Borghese, LPC, LCADC, ACS is a therapist and clinical supervisor at Relief Mental Health in Red Bank, New Jersey. She provides in-person and virtual therapy for preteens ages 12 years and older, teens, and adults navigating diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, family conflict, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and substance and alcohol use.
With extensive experience in mental health and addiction counseling, Christina supports patients in discovering healthy coping mechanisms, managing symptoms, and achieving their goals. She understands the courage it takes to seek therapy and believes that anyone can benefit from counseling, no matter where they are in their journey. For those facing complex challenges, she is a strong advocate for incorporating medication or additional interventions when talk therapy alone has not brought relief.
Christina employs evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, solution-focused brief therapy(SFBT), strength-based approaches, positive psychology, and trauma-focused therapy. Her practice is rooted in empathy, non-judgment, and a strong therapeutic relationship to empower clients to achieve their goals and foster growth and healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first appointment will involve a review of personal history, including family dynamics, childhood experiences, relationships, and any significant life events as well as explore the reasons you sought services and the specific symptoms and challenges you are facing. Recommendations for care will be provided and together you’ll begin to develop a plan to achieve your goals and achieve symptom relief.
Prior to your appointment, please complete and submit the intake form sent upon booking, or complete our digital intake form linked here. You will receive additional, new patient paperwork via email. If this paperwork is not completed prior to your appointment, please arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete the required paperwork in-office.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Patients’ initial medication management evaluation is a crucial step towards understanding and addressing their mental health needs and typically involves a thorough assessment of their medical and psychiatric history. I will provide information about potential treatment options, including psychiatric medications, and explain the benefits, potential side effects, and risks associated with each. This discussion aims to engage the patient in the decision-making process, ensuring they actively participate in their treatment plan.
Relief Mental Health is an outpatient provider of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), psychedelic therapy (SPRAVATO® and IV Ketamine), psychiatric medication management, and talk therapy for the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and other mental health diagnoses. While our expertise is broad, there are certain mental health conditions and diagnoses that fall outside our scope of practice. Your initial appointment will be considered an intake appointment and will not guarantee a continued patient-provider relationship.

More information on payments and coverage
If we do not receive your insurance information at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, we will collect a $100.00 deposit at the time of service and verify benefits after your appointment has taken place. This deposit will be applied towards any out-of-pocket costs for services, including copays, coinsurances, deductibles, or the full cash rate if we are out-of-network or unable to verify your insurance benefits. Once benefits are verified, any outstanding balance will be charged to the credit card on file and any overpayment can be refunded or applied to future visits. Our providers’ profiles list which insurances they accept, but patients are still encouraged to contact their insurance company for specific coverage details. Most of our providers are in-network with a variety of commercial PPO policies and Medicare, but are out-of-network with commercial HMO policies, Medicaid and other government-funded health insurance providers.
