Are you or someone you love struggling with addictions? You have tried everything you can but nothing has worked and you don’t know what else to do or where to turn. You have said "this is the last time" so many times its getting harder to believe you can actually change. Your relationships and performance at work are falling apart but you feel powerless to stop yourself. If this is true for you or someone you love, then it is crucial to know that there is hope and change is possible for you and the people you love.

Hello and welcome to my practice. Asking for help is not easy, so I am so glad you are here! Therapists are not a one size fits all and finding the right fit for you, your family, and/or your child is so important for therapy to be successful. My approach with clients is always collaborative, genuine and warm, and I use both empathy and humor. I am client-centered, strengths based, and solutions focused. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities to correspond with the needs of each individual client, meeting them where they are at.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of psychological and interpersonal challenges in life, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, life transition, relationship problems, and developmental disorders. I believe that psychotherapy is a process in which client and therapist collaborate in order to help client to improve self-understanding, overcome painful emotions, and discover new and widened perspectives about himself/herself, others, and life. I facilitate client's discovery and development of balanced and integrated personality so that he/she can transcend his/her psychological conflicts.

Welcome! As a mental health counselor, I understand the difficulties of taking the first step to seek treatment. Individuals may feel strange talking about aspects of their life they have yet to view and/or process. Our sessions will serve as a safe and judgment-free environment to explore past experiences, current behaviors, and difficulties processing trauma. You will be provided with the ability to explore difficulties in your life and be provided with as much structure as needed to build on skills and make changes. I work to hear the client and ensure interventions are helpful to support growth.

Change can be difficult at any stage of life. Starting a new school/career, dealing with a medical diagnosis, divorce or grieving the loss of a loved one are just some of the many examples of the curveballs life throws at us. Although personal experiences vary, we as humans are connected through shared emotions. Choosing a therapist that empowers you to cope with these changes is vital to your healing.

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.

The journey of life is one filled with joy, happiness, sadness, disappointments, loss and renewal. I feel my goal as a psychologist is to enable a child, adolescent, young adult, and adult find the strength to review life's troubling issues and form new perceptions which enables different outlooks on problems. I feel the only problems in life are situations that can not be resolved. Many times the resolutions are not what we thought life would offer us, but that is what we have. Book written by Dr. Pitta: "Solving Modern Family Dilemmas: An Assimilative Therapy Approach".

It is my belief and the foundation of my practice that humans have an innate propensity towards growth. Inevitably though, we come across obstacles and difficult situations blocking us from reaching our full potential. It is my goal as a therapist to help clients identify these roadblocks through careful exploration of the self, and overcome them in order to reach our full potential. We have no “rule book” for life, but therapy provides a safe space to explore our inner and outer worlds, and learn evidence based tools to grow and live a fulfilling life.

I have 35 + years experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I believe therapy is most effective when you experience your therapist as a safe, accepting person. Initial sessions focus on identifying what prompted you to seek therapy and how you hope therapy will help. Together we explore obstacles and ways to become less ‘stuck’. I use psychodynamic, developmental and relational approaches to understand and address the challenges you face. I also draw on techniques from many approaches to select practical tools tailored to most effectively help you.
