christina smith is one of the most amazing people i have ever met in my life. she has helped me with so much and honestly don’t know where i would be with out her. she listens (obviously) but she actually hears what you are saying. she remembers things about what i’ve said that i don’t even remember. she has this calming energy that makes you want to see her. i’ve had a different therapist experience which made me never want to take medication or go to another therapist agin but now after meeting christina, i’m open to medication and getting better rather than trying to do it all by myself. i will never go to another counselor. i will be with christina for as long as i can, and i recommend her to everyone. every single person that’s like “i need help”.. i send them her info. she’s just the best and i am so great full to have found her.

Christina is the absolute best counselor I’ve seen. She deeply cares about her clients and is very patient (even when u interrupt her constantly, sorry again). She has helped me so much in the short time I’ve been with her, more then any of my previous counselors combined. She’s understanding when life gets in the way, and will welcome you back with open arms if u take a little break. I recommend her every chance I get.

I made an appointment with Christina Smith. The appointment was at least three weeks out and I hadn’t filled out my insurance info for her right away. The original email said to “fill this out as soon as you are able”. She emailed to remind me a few days later and I got back to her later that day saying that I was busy with school and would get it done by early the next week. She sent another email that day saying that she had given my appointment slot to another person. When I confronted her about it and asked for an apology, she apologized for the misunderstanding and took no responsibility for her own actions. This is really poor behavior for somebody who is supposed to be helping others, especially in situations like these when things like that can be triggering. It was a huge step for me to even make that appointment. I would not recommend her to anybody just based on this alone.
