Christine Ventresca

My communication style

My communication style is warm and relaxed. I strive to provide a calm and supportive environment where you will feel safe, valued, and heard, regardless of what you choose to share.

My journey to mental healthcare

Prior to becoming a counselor, I spent time in the military. Though not the most direct route, the experience led me to discover my passion: connecting with and supporting others. I am so grateful to share in the lives of my clients and witness their pain, help them find hope, and celebrate their accomplishments.

My goals for you

Counseling is a partnership, but you are the expert on your life. Though we will work together to develop goals for therapy, you get to set the pace and determine where the journey will take us. In our sessions, I'll check in with you regularly to get your feedback on how things are progressing, and we'll adapt our goals to meet your needs.

Our first session

In the first session, my aim is to make you feel welcome and comfortable. We'll review confidentiality and guidelines, and I'll share an overview of my approach. You'll have the opportunity to share what brought you to therapy, and I'll ask questions to learn about you. We'll begin to develop a plan for our work together.
