Cristian Neira, LMHC — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Cristian!

I provide individual therapy, DBT skills training, and trauma-informed care. I work with adults seeking to connect with their authenticity and navigate life with greater emotional resilience.

My focus

I focus on adults seeking to connect with their authenticity, spontaneity, and genuineness. I work with clients navigating emotional challenges, building resilience, exploring identity, trusting their instincts, and living with curiosity and openness.

My approach

My approach varies based on your needs. I most frequently use Psychodynamic therapy and Psychoanalysis, and I'm also trained in DBT. I help you explore your experiences and tap into your unique strengths to live more freely and authentically.

My communication style

My approach is warm, supportive, and insight-driven. I help you navigate challenges while building on your strengths. I'd love to learn what brings you to therapy and how we can work together to support your well-being.

My journey to mental healthcare

I studied music before becoming a therapist, which developed my observational skills and understanding of human emotions. I fell in love with the deep approach of psychoanalysis and have been exploring other approaches to enrich my practice.

My goals for you

Goals are important only if they align with your values and beliefs. I care about setting realistic goals towards both functioning and well-being.

Our first session

An open session to discuss what brings you to therapy and your expectations. We'll explore how we can work together to support your growth.
