“Christine is an excellent counselor!
I feel I have come along way since finding her in December!
She has impacted my life by her indepth knowledge of addiction and behaviors of enablers!
I could not have changed my my old patterns dealing with addicted adult child without her providing me with new tools for a healthier life.
Christine can easily assess what is going on in sessions and give you practical common sense solutions so you quit repeating old patterns!
I feel I have progressed with new healthier patterns by having Christine as my counselor!!! I feel very fortunate that I found her in December I was really suffering and in a box!
Christine will always be my go to life coach!!!!s”

I have felt a huge difference in my mental health and echo every positive review on here! ”

Getting to know Cristina Nanez
I help people others find “too complex.” My practice is built for those who struggle with personality disorders, addiction, and eating disorders who have been through multiple treatments without lasting success. This is different.
Here, we will:
Connect the Dots: We’ll uncover how your trauma, addiction, and eating behaviors are intertwined—so you can stop fighting separate battles and finally address the core war.
Honor Your Survival: Your coping mechanisms, even the harmful ones, helped you survive. We’ll respect that, and then gently build new, life-giving strategies so the old ones can retire.
Move at Your Pace, with Unshakable Expertise: I am trained in the most effective modalities for complex cases, and I am known for my unflinching belief in your capacity to heal, even when you’ve lost belief in yourself.
This work is deep. It is courageous. It requires a guide who is not afraid of the dark places and who knows the path out.
I am that guide. Booking is an invitation to hear what true unwavering support sounds like! I look forward to meeting you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and Recovery coach. Throughout my career I have provided in-person, virtual and live-in therapeutic services for mental health across the U.S impacting adults and adolescents struggling with eating disorders, addiction, depression, anxiety, family conflict, and personality disorders.
Cristina Nanez is supervised by B.J. Barksdale.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I offer a free consultation to get more information about what your needs are. All my clients begin with virtual sessions, as often as they need. That can be weekly, bi weekly, monthly, or whatever works best for them. My approach has allowed my clients to experience healing at a great pace (even virtually!), but I do offer in-home therapy for clients that need more guidance on how to follow through with new action steps.

Cristina has been such a great therapist to work with. I have seen her tackle the most difficult cases ranging from teen traumas, eating disorders, addiction across all ages, and even created an impact in the prison environment. It takes a special person to be able to navigate all of these unique struggles with compassion and understanding, but most importantly, without fear to confront what needs to be confronted. She is willing to dive deep and isn't startled by ANY client responses. She understands that growth does not happen in comfort, and her clients have thrived with this approach. If you are looking for a support who knows how to walk alongside you in the darkest times, you've found her!

Christina was an absolute lifesaver for our family. Her expertise and compassion were instrumental in helping us navigate the incredibly challenging journey of supporting our daughter through substance-abuse and mental health issues. Her practical guidance on setting boundaries and expectations provided us with the tools we needed to create a healthier home environment. Cristina’s dedication to our family extended beyond counseling sessions as she thoughtfully researched and arranged rehab options that aligned with our daughters needs and our insurance coverage. Her no nonsense approach coupled with her empathy, made her an invaluable resource during this difficult time. While our journey is ongoing, we are incredibly grateful for the progress our daughter has made. We wholeheartedly recommend Christina to anyone facing similar challenges.

Cristina is very insightful and helpful. She provides thoughtful and encouraging feedback. I always feel heard and understood during our conversations, I've also really appreciated the outlines she sends me breaking down things to work on between our sessions. It helps me think introspectively as well as see what areas I am still struggling in. I highly recommend Cristina Nanez to anyone in need of a therapist who will actively listen and give out "homework" when necessary.

I have worked with several other people and none were as helpful, direct and engaging as Cristina was. She is very organized, professional, and did not waste any time getting me where I needed to be. Other people at times felt like I was wasting my money or simply venting my problems but Cristina took charge and wasted no time. She was kind, gentle, but firm and direct at the same time. Even though my situation was extremely difficult and complicated, she knew exactly how to handle it and took me through the recovery one step at a time. I can’t thank her enough for where I am now!
