Hi, I’m Cristina Sifuentes, LPC. I work with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices like mindfulness and trauma-informed care. I offer a safe and inclusive space where you can explore your experiences, unlearn patterns that no longer serve you, and develop the skills to manage change with greater resilience and confidence.

- Appointments: Both in-person and telehealth
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I specialize in treating adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD, including both sexual and psychological trauma. I also work with individuals managing mood disorders such as Bipolar Disorder and those coping with grief, loss, and significant life transitions. Whether you’re processing internal challenges or navigating external changes, I bring a warm and engaging presence to build a strong therapeutic relationship and create a space where you feel supported and understood.
In our work together, I focus on helping you unlearn harmful patterns by incorporating mindfulness-based techniques and offering practical tools to manage change more effectively. As a trauma-informed therapist, I bring experience working with diverse populations, including veterans and first responders.
Understanding your unique story is essential to me. I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where you feel heard and supported as we work toward your goals and overall well-being.
