Cristina knows that many people contact the clinic without knowing exactly what they need. That is completely okay. You do not need to know the name of a therapy approach or have the perfect words to describe what is happening.
Her goal is to make the next step feel a little easier.
Cristina approaches client support with empathy, patience, kindness, and attention to detail.
She understands that contacting a therapy clinic can feel vulnerable. Some clients may be reaching out during a difficult period in their lives, while others may simply feel nervous because they have never been to therapy before.
Cristina wants clients to feel heard, supported, and reassured after speaking with her.
She believes that a positive first experience begins with clear communication and the opportunity to ask questions without feeling rushed or judged. By breaking the process into manageable steps, Cristina helps make scheduling, paperwork, therapist matching, and getting started feel less overwhelming.
