“I came to Christina feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and honestly a little lost. From the very first session, she made me feel safe... but also gently challenged me in ways I didn't expect. She has this ability to help you see the patterns you've been blind to for years and actually understand why they're there. Her approach is warm and grounded, but also structured in a way that makes the work feel real and doable. I'm more confident and self-aware than I've ever been, and I credit so much of that to her. If you're on the fence, don't be — she's the real deal.”

Getting to know Christina Uong
Christina is a talk therapist offering a blend of counseling and depth psychotherapy to individuals and couples navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the ongoing complexities of life.
What makes her approach different? Many therapists offer counseling — practical support focused on specific challenges, helpful strategies, and symptom relief. Christina does this too, but she goes further.
As a depth psychotherapist, Christina also works at the level of emotions, patterns, inner conflict, and the unconscious — exploring the root sources of what brings you in, not just the surface symptoms. This deeper work leads to more lasting, meaningful change.
Every session is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace. Whether you're looking for immediate tools to cope, or a deeper exploration of yourself, Christina meets you where you are.
Session Rates & Insurance: Christina offers out-of-network services only and does not accept insurance directly. Many clients choose to submit claims to their insurance for possible reimbursement — check with your provider about your out-of-network benefits.
Current rates:
Individual Therapy (50 minutes): $175
Couples Therapy (50 minutes): $195
*Sessions are typically held weekly.
What should a new client know about working with you?
People often tell me they appreciate that sessions don't feel like a performance. You don't have to arrive with the right words or have it figured out beforehand. You can show up exactly as you are — messy, uncertain, mid-thought — and we'll work from there.
I care about the relationship we build as much as the techniques we use, because the research is clear: the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most powerful drivers of change. You'll have a genuinely safe, judgment-free space — not as a platitude, but as a real commitment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
No preparation needed. In fact, one of the most valuable things you can do is arrive and simply let your thoughts and feelings lead — without organizing or editing yourself first. I'll follow what feels alive for you, slow things down when something important surfaces, and ask questions that help us get beneath the surface to what you're really experiencing. You don't have to have it figured out before you walk in.

I had my first session with Christina today, and it was a truly pleasant experience. She’s incredibly kind, an excellent listener, and asked thoughtful questions that really helped guide the conversation in a meaningful way. I felt comfortable and supported throughout the session. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing her again next week.

I have been looking for a Therapist for years who can not only understand the issues that I am trying to work through, but someone who has the patience and knowledge to assist me in bettering myself. After seeing multiple therapists, Christina has shown to be exactly the Therapist I'm looking for and could not be more excited to do the personal work with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Christina is an excellent therapist.
I've had moderate experiences with previous talk therapists in the past but my experience with her has been different. She's really good at what she does. She's attuned, empathic, and intelligent. Christina has significantly helped with my depression and anxiety, and truly transform my life in meaningful ways.
