Christine S. Gigena

On the outside, you seem to be doing well. You show up, fulfill expectations, take care of responsibilities. But on the inside, you’re finding this harder and harder to do. It seems to take a lot of emotional energy to keep yourself together so you can get through the day. You’re doing all the right things, but you can’t seem to find that happy state, that contentment you’ve been looking for.

Individual therapy provides all the things you are looking for. A safe space for you to talk openly. A supportive and compassionate guide who will help you feel heard and understood. A path forward that empowers you to let go of the things that hold you back and embrace the healing and growth you are ready for.

I view counseling as a collaborative process and I provide telehealth for individuals in Arizona and Virginia. You are the expert on you and your situation, and I have the experience and tools to help you make changes and find healing. I bring a warm empathy and respect to the work we do together. My work is trauma-informed, and my training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I work from a strengths-based perspective, helping you identify and use your innate strengths as you increase your ability to overcome obstacles and create new patterns. I will also help you develop positive coping skills and improve your menta and emotional well-being. Whatever your goal may be, our work together will help you feel more confident, healthy, and whole.

Don't wait any longer to create the life you want to live. Reach out and let's get started! I look forward to hearing from you.
