Getting to know Christine De Lara

Hi there, I'm Christine! Whether it's about the past, present, or future, you deserve a space to feel in real time. My goal is to create a space with you and for you that allows you to feel and experience things in the moment, so ultimately you can heal and grow without limitation. My approach Depending on your needs and goals, I tailor my approach to you and meet you where you are. Combined with a Person-Centered approach that allows clients to be the experts of their own lives, I might utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, or Gestalt Therapy. I am here to sit with you, guide you, and reflect with you. My focus Have you been stuck in the past? Do you struggle to stay in the present moment? Are you worried about the future? Whether you're recovering from trauma, managing life transitions, or needing relief from harmful thoughts and behaviors, I'll work alongside you in bringing things up to the surface and developing healthy ways of coping so that you can create and live the life you want. My communication style I value open, compassionate, and empathetic communication that is non-judgmental and uplifting. I provide support through active listening, intentional curiosity, and attunement so that you can fully reflect on your experiences and discover better ways of living, thinking My journey to mental healthcare My therapy journey began after studying Child and Adolescent Development, getting a close look at how humans begin to develop their sense of self, adopt communication and social skills, and experience relationships. From my own experience of being the eldest of three daughters to two immigrant parents, I quickly learned the value of healthy communication and the need for a supportive social network.
