Hello, my name is Cristina Vigil (she/ella) and I am a LCSW. Over the past decade, I've dedicated myself to supporting gender-expansive and LGBTQ+ children, adolescents, and their parents/families/caregivers. I provide a safe haven where individuals of all ages are not just acknowledged but embraced and assisted in their journey of self-discovery. One of the main modalities that I use in my practice is CBT, where we explore how your thoughts affect your emotions. During treatment, you will learn how to question and push back against those thoughts and notice how your feelings reflect this inquiry.

Are you struggling with identity? Feeling worthless or like an imposter? Are you snapping at loved ones over little things? Or repeating relationships, patterns, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. That's where I come in. My job is to listen, help you understand the root causes of your issues, break unwanted patterns, and teach you practical tools to change your life. Therapy isn't always easy, but neither is the distress you're feeling now. And it's ok to need help; we all do.

If you feel stuck and it seems there is no way to make things better, you may wonder if your relationship can change. I have good news. There is a path to change, but your relationship is stuck in a negative cycle. This negative cycle keeps you from being able to communicate, resolve conflict, and discuss problems.
