Christina is amazing! I’m waiting for her responds like a little kid, checking my emails 100 times a day. I’m so excited when I see her messages! She is very helpful and asks a lot of questions and helps me face things I would just hold in myself to avoid conflict. She helps me endure.

I'm grateful for the support of Christina through Faithful Counseling. She is encouraging and she has kept me accountable for the goals that I sent in earlier sessions. Being able to use this service has helped me get through a dark period in my life. I still have work to do on myself, however, I have a new appreciation for life and I know I am created for a purpose.

Christina is wonderful. So patient with me and so engaged. From almost the first day she listened and NAILED what I was seeking help for and has approached it with a clear plan that I can easily work with. She's the best! I am so lucky to be working with her!

Christina is not at all patronizing or assertive as some medical professionals tend to be. She deals with the issues that lead people to seek counseling and genuinely helps them to set and achieve goals to improve the quality of their life and well being. In short, she does her job without leaving the client feeling like just another paycheck. Her counsel is truly helpful and her manner professional.
