Christina Bonnafoux, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christina!

I support adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while quietly struggling within. I offer a supportive space to slow down, heal, and reconnect with who you truly are.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, stress, and burnout. I also support clients exploring a deeper sense of meaning and balance.

My approach

My approach is holistic and integrative, honoring the connection between mind, body, and emotional experience. I draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, IFS, mindfulness, somatic work, and EFT to help you understand patterns, regulate emotions, and create lasting change.

My communication style

My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and create a space where you feel safe to be open and honest. Together, we work at a pace that feels supportive while gently encouraging growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own healing journey through trauma, anxiety, and depression. Experiencing the power of therapy firsthand inspired me to help others find the insight, tools, and support needed to heal and grow.

My goals for you

We work together to identify what you want to feel, experience, and change in your life. Goals are collaborative, flexible, and focused on helping you build self-awareness, emotional balance, and practical tools for lasting well-being.

Our first session

The first session is a supportive conversation getting to know you better, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you hope will feel different. I’ll ask questions, listen carefully, and help you leave with clarity about how we can work together moving forward.
