Christina McCue, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christina!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Art Therapist, I believe healing grows through connection, creativity, and self-exploration. I offer a calm, supportive space to navigate anxiety, trauma, relationships, and transitions, helping you build balance, confidence, and fulfillment.

My focus

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. My warm, creative, and grounded approach supports stronger communication, emotional awareness, and resilience, helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with confidence.

My approach

I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach combining CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and art therapy. Together we’ll explore your thoughts and emotions to foster insight, healing, and growth through a collaborative process guided by your needs, values, and goals.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, calm, and collaborative. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. I listen deeply, offer compassionate feedback, and help you explore challenges with curiosity and care-fostering trust, insight, and growth throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist grew from a deep curiosity about people’s stories and a belief in the power of creativity and connection to heal. Through my own experiences with art and self-discovery, I found purpose in helping others find clarity, resilience, and meaning in their lives.

My goals for you

I help clients set clear, meaningful goals through collaboration and reflection. Together, we identify what matters most, break goals into manageable steps, and use evidence-based tools to support progress. I celebrate growth along the way, adjusting our approach as your needs and insights evolve.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. I’ll ask questions to learn about your background, strengths, and goals while creating a calm, supportive space. Together, we’ll set a direction for your care at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
