She can help life make sense again! She offers Individual, Group,

Cristina Spataro has worked with children and families in crisis for the past 17 years. If there is one thing she has learned, it is that everyone has the capacity for change if they truly want it. Life is hard, and the “right” choices are not always so apparent. Our decisions and their consequences leave us questioning ourselves.

Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP

Psychoanalytic work is a journey taken by two people - the therapist and the patient. I think of psychoanalytic work as a voyage of discovery. Here is a safe place where you can stop, take your time, look, listen to yourself. A place to go when you feel stuck in your life. I have psychodynamic and multicultural perspectives to work with individuals with issues that maybe very specific - a relationship, a job, a developmental issue, repetitive thoughts and rituals, trouble with addictions, a death, a marriage,
family
issues. Or it could be more perplexing - a vague feeling something is wrong.

My experience includes clinical work with K-5 students and Paris-based study of couple and
family therapy
.
I believe therapy can help us navigate our lowest moments and achieve our greatest happiness, whether in relationships, careers, or within ourselves. It gives us the freedom to take chances and break negative patterns. Emphasizing collaboration, compassion, and encouragement, I work with individual adults, teens, children, couples, and families. Relationship conflict, anxiety and depression, trauma and grief are among my areas of specialty. I often work with those driven to achieve — offering help coping with pressure, finding fulfillment, and understanding how past experiences can influence the present in subtle yet powerful ways.

Whatever the concern, having access to someone to talk with about these human experiences is important for your well-being.

Building a healthy co-partnership together, we will take a deep dive into
family
dynamics, childhood/adolescence, and societal influences.
Do you spend time trying to make sense of your emotions? Questioning why you feel the way you do? Does the lack of clarity impact your behaviors and quality of life? It's normal to look inward and analyze, but you don't have to do it alone. The goal of our work together is to achieve an understanding of how external and internal factors have unknowingly shaped you. Through this process of self discovery, you will find comfort in just being you. I tend to see high achieving adults, who hold the pressures of being perceived by others as "all good" or "perfect". Let's shed that torturous inner critic and create anew!

You are not going to be alone in this process; I will be by your side in this inner journey. You will have an empathetic listener, customized exploration, thoughtful observations, and knowledgeable and collaborative analysis to gain insight about the most intimate parts of yourself and start the healing process.

Together we find the words and unconscious memories and conflicts that freeze and stop you for experiencing the life you would like to lead. And you didn't even know why you felt so stuck. Once this is brought to your awareness almost immediately a wider range of feelings and thoughts are released to give you more control over your whole life which includes
family
, friendships, work and general sense of well being.

You are the expert in your life and journey. Even when we think we have the best skills, it can sometimes feel like we are losing grasp of key areas in our lives. As those strings begin to unravel, we can feel the impact of complicated interactions with
family
and loved ones. We might experience a disconnect between our goals and our current station in life. I work with individuals and couples to share their thoughts freely, explore challenges, and develop solutions and coping mechanisms that support overall wellness.

For the ambitious, high-achievers in their early 20-30’s, life can be quite overwhelming. Juggling
family
responsibilities, romantic interests, and career aspirations while trying to establish a strong sense of independence is no small task. You may be left feeling like you're navigating the shift into early adulthood without a map, or charting new waters without land in sight. You may feel like you are doing a lot more, but not necessarily getting a lot more done and the expectation that reaching a certain milestone will bring comfort is constantly being met with disappointment, leaving you feeling unmotivated and unfulfilled.
