Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, having trouble managing, or working through difficult emotions? Maybe you’ve considered therapy but are anxious about talking to someone. I invite you to take a chance and begin the journey towards that ideal self you have always dreamed of. My name is Dr. Christine Sainvil, and I am a licensed psychologist who provides culturally competent counseling services. I have an integrative approach to therapy, grounded in multicultural counseling, interpersonal theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Therapy is like a GPS—you set the destination, and I help you explore the best routes to get there.My role is to guide and support you in building the future you envision. I'm a licensed therapist in NY & FL, and authorized to practice telepsychology across 40+ states through PSYPACT.
My hope for my clients is that when they complete treatment, they have a better understanding of themselves, their strengths, and their emotions. At the end of therapy, my clients tend to feel empowered and equipped with a toolbox of techniques that will help them take on and manage any future life stressors.
