Cristina Lugo
Introduction
I believe in the enduring human capacity to heal and grow. Of course, in life we are often faced with obstacles and can find ourselves getting stuck or trapped in suffering. There is a path forward, but it’s not always easy to find. A big part of my work is helping you blaze this trail and collaborating with your success. Using a combination of warmth, mindfulness, brain/body science, creativity and sharing knowledge, I help keep your process moving toward living the life you want. In my fourteen years of practicing psychotherapy, I have found myself specializing in the teens, 20s, and 30s populations, which is a critical time for navigating career and relational goals while laying the foundation for adult life. I also specialize in providing EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) therapy which can be our main focus or woven into treatment as needed. I am committed to providing culturally-responsive care and have a strong background in working with second generation and multicultural identities. As a Puerto Rican-American with many of my own cultural experiences, I put care into decolonizing therapy in my practice. I understand that the obstacles are not always about us, the broader systems in our lives need to be addressed as well. Together we can navigate this challenging world so you can thrive.
