Getting to know Christina Deaton
As a therapist with both a personal and professional understanding of trauma, military service, and the LGBTQIA+ community, I'm well aware of the strength required to overcome hardships. I hold a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, San Bernardino, which has equipped me with the skills to support my clients effectively. I'm deeply inspired by my clients' resilience and their commitment to healing. It's an honor to stand beside them as they face the tough work of processing adversity, healing trauma, and practicing new ways to navigate life's challenges.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I approach therapy with a no-nonsense, trauma-informed, and inclusive mindset. My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, but also pushed to dig deep and face their realities. I listen closely to their stories, and together, we confront the hard truths. We reshape self-narratives, understanding that the way we speak and think about ourselves, others and the world shapes the way we live.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe trust in the therapeutic relationship is built through respect. There is no hierarchy in therapy, but rather two people working together for change. I believe in giving clients the space to lead, while collaborating with them to confront patterns and beliefs that no longer serve them. My hope is that every client takes ownership and control over their own healing, with each step being a move toward real, lasting growth.

- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork

I have only met with my counselor twice and she has already helped me enormously. I feel a real connection and I think I will make a lot of progress with her.
