Written on Mar 18, 2024 after therapy with Christina for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, and coping with life changes

Christina was very good and seeing through my ramblings and helping me see the real problem. It’s been extremely eye opening and exactly what I needed!!

Written on Mar 07, 2024 after therapy with Christina for 1 year and 7 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, self esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Christina is very thoughtful and encouraging. She asks me useful questions and provides tools that I've put into practice.

Written on Feb 13, 2024 after therapy with Christina for 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

Christina has helped me so much! I came into therapy nervous, not really knowing what to expect. She is personable, caring, friendly, and SO engaged! The way she had guided me to see things differently, for the better, has helped tremendously. She has given me the tools to work on many things myself between sessions. My relationships are better, I’m happier, I am better at controlling my emotions (anger, frustration) in situations that are not ideal. I’m a better Mommy and wife :)

Working with Christina has been incredible! She is knowledgable, approachable, kind, and has helped me immensely with my mental health. She provides a wonderful balance of listening, helping me reflect, and sharing tools to help me manage my anxiety. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Christina is very thought provoking and will ask timely questions...leading you down the path where you answer your own concerns.

Written on Dec 12, 2023 after therapy with Christina for 6 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and intimacy-related issues

Christina is a great therapist; she listens without judgment, offers advice without trying to influence your decision, and is very knowledgeable about the issues I'm working on. She has many exercises to go through, either during our sessions or on my own, that help to evaluate and progress on those topics.

Written on Nov 22, 2023 after therapy with Christina for 1 year and 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Christina has been amazing for my mental health. I haven't felt this good for years. She listens and helps but also just let's me verbally work through things myself. Perfect mix of help.

Written on Nov 10, 2023 after therapy with Christina for 1 month on issues concerning relationship

She doesn't just listen, nod her head and take notes and say "see you next week". She puts herself in her clients shoes. I know! She got as upset with me as my girlfriend did. Which was a wakeup for me. I have had a yes-therapist before and it turned me off for a long time. So glad I gave it another go and glad I found her.

Christina is great! She listens very patiently, speaks with kindness, reflects on my growth, is excited for me through changes, and overall very very easy to talk to. I never feel silly, judged, or minimized. I actually enjoy getting to talk to her, even when the topics aren't easy, because she truly is so understanding and really does help me learn about myself. I've tried 4 other therapists over the years and Christina has been very welcoming, encouraging, and supportive. 10/10 great therapist + great gal!

Christina McGinn was wonderful. When my wife and I signed up for therapy we were both very nervous. After our first session our feelings had completely changed. We would look forward to our sessions with her and found our time together to be fun and very educational. Christina presented different viewpoints on topics we had struggled with which really made us think and helped us understand each other better. Christina was always willing to listen to us and genuinely answered our questions. Christina would ask follow up questions to ensure her answers to our questions were understood by us. I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking to strengthen their relationship and resolve conflicts.
