“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” -Anais Nin. My counseling style is conversational and interactive- I do not want you to feel stifled or like there is anything you can't say to me. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity, and I pride myself on unfaltering honesty as I believe it is the cornerstone of good communication.

My clients range in many different areas, whether it be gender, sexual orientation, race, paths of life, or values system. The common thread between most of us, despite our differences, is the desire to be seen and heard, accepted for who we are at our core. Many of us have been taught that pleasure is not for us, that our needs don't matter. I aim to help people understand their worth, learn to communicate needs, and explore parts of themselves they might have silenced long ago.

Searching for a therapist can be incredibly overwhelming, especially if reaching out for the first time, have had a negative experience in therapy, or are searching for a different therapy style. How I can relieve those initial stressors of this process is by building a strong therapeutic foundation that can develop into a strong relationship to assist you in reaching your goals. I can be an outlet of security, trust, validation, support, and safety to guide and challenge you to explore thoughts, emotions, and reactions. I personalize each case and utilize different therapy styles that are fitting to you. -Christina Lees, LPC

Through the Pandemic, I found that Telehealth Sessions worked very well for clients and decided to continue my practice through Telehealth Sessions only. I have 30 years of experience in the field of Child Welfare and Mental Health treating individuals, couples and families of all ages, who are struggling with various problems that cause them to feel stuck. I believe that each individual has the answer to their personal struggle within themselves and just need a safe space where they can clarify their values and learn skills and strategies that will enable them to move forward and live the life they desire.

I know it is hard to reach out and seek professional help. It's confusing and frustrating. I want to make it as easy as possible to help you to heal. In treatment, my goal is to challenge you. Challenge you to think differently, behave differently, live differently, or create the life you want to live. Whether this is overcoming anxiety, substance issues, trauma, burnout, or navigating reaching your personal goals.

Are you avoiding certain situations because of the way you feel about your body? Maybe this is leading to disordered eating behaviors? I want to help you move towards body neutrality and find new ways to cope with disordered eating.
