“I've been working with Christina for almost 2 years now. I've been able to overcome a lot of challenges I originally went to therapy for because of her, including dealing with trauma from a family member who was physically inappropriate and a former supervisor who was physically and emotionally inappropriate at work. Recently, she's gone out of her way to find a new psychiatric nurse practitioner (NP) or psychiatrist who can prescribe me medication since I was having issues with the old NP. She's also good about challenging my thoughts in a respectful way instead of just agreeing with whatever I say. Lastly, since she knows I like to read, she sends me relevant reading materials/worksheets to help overcome remaining challenges like dealing with intrusive thoughts and cleanliness from being OCD. I'm very thankful to have Christina and highly recommend her to others experiencing issues with mental health. During our sessions, it feels like I'm heard and that she genuinely cares about her patients' well being.”

Getting to know Christina Fals
Hi! I'm Christina Fals (she/her/hers), a bilingual Hispanic American licensed social worker based in Washington D.C. I am available to serve clients in DC through online therapy sessions.

I have dedicated my past years of mental health experience to assisting individuals from all walks of life and ages through various issues such as mental health crises, chronic illness, major life transitions, career changes, substance abuse, and gender identity. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Florida International University and a Bachelor’s degree from John Carroll University.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
