“I like working with Dr. Urcinas, she's very professional and she can also be funny when appropriate. She is also very understanding and doesn't try to push for progress too hard. Her instructions on applying techniques are very clear. I always feel better after one of our sessions. Working with her over the years has been very life changing, I feel like a transformed person. My anxiety levels are a fraction of what they used to be and I feel much happier overall.”

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.

I was in a low place and scared my husband. He found Christina online. Within 2-3 weeks i had an appointment. She has given me strategies to the trauma that brought me to her and taught me how to apply those same strategies to everyday life situations that bring bring undue stress. Christina has truly been wonderful and made such a difference in my way of thinking and my mental health. She is also very accommodating working with my schedule.

Christina is person down to earth that can realize my real concerns and emotions. She really helps me evolve and get to know my real self, without making me be a self centered person. I am really appreciative of the luck that I found a young and capable therapist to make me see clearly the good things I have. She is amazing !!!

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.

Christina Urcinas is an amazing individual! She has been assisting me with my life transition issues and I am so grateful for her support and insight. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I have learned skills to help me better understand my emotions and how to deal with the anxiety and fear that comes from these feelings. I am so thankful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone struggling with a life transition. Her demeanor is so positive and she is an excellent listener. Best of luck with your journey.

Christina listens and then offers work I can do between visits to enhance cognitive understanding of my issues. As well, she is genuinely calm and compassionate as I share with her. The questions she asks indicate a focus and concern for me that is terribly important at this time.

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.
