Christian Counseling in Newport News, VA — Christian Counselors, Coaches, Therapists

Christina Triantafillou, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over seven years of experience in the field. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, and families. When I began my Master’s program in counseling in 2011, I quickly discovered that this was the field I wanted to be in for the rest of my life. I believe that above all, counseling requires a solid relational foundation to promote change. It is my job to help you see the best in yourself, to take an honest look at what could help, and then to help equip you with the tools needed to see positive change in your life. I take this job seriously and strive to be the best I can every day to help others on their journey. 

I have experience providing counseling in a variety of settings including in-home counseling, outpatient offices, women’s shelters, public school, and universities. I am trained in the use of trauma-informed care, which gives me a solid understanding of how trauma can impact the way you view the world around you and communicate with others. I use this in much of my therapy practice, as well as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. I am also trained in Motivational Interviewing, which focuses primarily on addiction concerns. I have completed the Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

I have experience in helping individuals/families with: 

• Trauma/Abuse
• Anxiety/Panic 
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
• Depression
• Attachment Disorders
• Borderline Personality Disorder
• Psychosis and Psychotic Disorders
• Domestic Violence 
• Divorce and Custody 
• LGBTQ+  Concerns
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Addictions and Substance Abuse
• Self-Esteem 
• Adolescent Concerns 
• Grief/Loss
• Multicultural and Minority Concerns
• Anger Management
• Relationship Issues 
• Self-Harm/Thoughts of Suicide

This list is not exhaustive and I always believe in growing and learning more about how to help others.

I have a long history of working with Community Mental Health with children, young adults, families, schools and the Judicial system. I see my role as a change agent by assisting people in helping to improve the quality of their lives. I see change as a Journey to a better, stronger you.
