Getting to know Dr. Christina Urcinas

Dr. Christina Urcinas, Ph.D. – I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Maryland and over a decade of experience working in national and regional hospital systems, multi-disciplinary long-term care and rehabilitation facilities, and community clinics. I collaborate with adults experiencing various mental health concerns, including symptoms of depression, panic disorder, generalized and social anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, adjustment and self-esteem issues, and caregiver stress. I provide individual teletherapy services only at this time, with a clinical foundation primarily consisting of cognitive-behavioral interventions. I recognize and appreciate the relationship between mental and physical health, the psychological effects of stress and illness on functioning, and the educational and motivational interventions needed to improve health and maximize functioning. I aim to assist individuals in reclaiming their lives and developing meaningful, self-determined roles in the community.

The provider never sent me a link to join the appointment. I left a message with the phone number voicemail and have yet to hear back from them. Therefore, I never had my appointment with the provider today.

I have a great communication with my therapist
Cristina is very good about providing actionable methods for stopping anxiety and depression from spiraling out of control. I appreciate that our sessions are a mix of talk therapy as well as using realistic tools to breakdown behaviors and thought processes. Similarly, I appreciate that she remembers details from our conversations and can relate to me.
Dr. Urcinas has helped me in more significant ways than any therapist before. Her work is hard, but if you are willing to put in the time and effort, it brings such positive change.
I have started and stopped therapy many times in my life, mainly because I never found the right therapist for me: one who is understanding and empathetic but who also challenges me to do that work needed to become a better version of myself. In my short time with Dr. Urcinas, I have realized she has all of those qualities in large measure. I now find myself looking forward to our weekly sessions and feel better after each session.
My therapist is very intuitive and thorough. She is empathetic, encouraging, and realistic while giving constructive feedback and providing effective tools to apply in my daily life. This experience is definitely making a positive change in my life.
