Getting to know Cristina Plessinger

Hi, I’m Cristina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist passionate about supporting women through life’s overwhelming, messy, and transitional seasons. I work with clients navigating anxiety, postpartum challenges, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, burnout, and major life changes. My approach is warm, supportive, and down to earth while still being grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe to be honest, understood without judgment, and empowered to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and approachable, not intimidating. Whether you’re trying to reconnect with yourself, heal from difficult experiences, or simply stop feeling stuck in survival mode, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and supported along the way.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
