Cristina DeFiore, LMSW

She/Her

It’s a genuine privilege to be a therapist and to walk alongside you through life’s most meaningful and challenging moments. My approach is deeply relational, grounded in warmth, authenticity, and a sense of humor that helps us stay human through hard things. I believe healing happens in connection—with ourselves, with others, and when we feel truly seen and supported.

My goal is to create a supportive, trauma-informed environment rooted in allyship, justice, and liberation, where cultural humility and deep respect for your lived experience guide our work together. 

Whether you're exploring gender identity and sexuality, healing from trauma, navigating anxiety or depression, working through complicated family or relationship dynamics, strengthening boundaries, or building emotional regulation skills, your full self is welcome here. I would be honored to collaborate with you in uncovering your strengths, finding practical ways to overcome challenges, and nurturing a deeper sense of well-being.

I specialize in working with teens (14+) and adults, with a passion for supporting queer, trans, gender-diverse individuals, and ADHD/neurodiverse folks. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, deepen insight, and support meaningful change through blending evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with holistic approaches that support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
