Christiana Tercero
LCSW • Senior Psychotherapist
About
With a compassionate approach and a diverse therapeutic toolkit, Christiana Tercero, LCSW, guides clients through life's most challenging moments. As a Senior Psychotherapist, Christiana has honed her skills working with a wide range of individuals, each on their own unique journey of self-discovery and healing.
Christiana's therapeutic approach is both holistic and tailored to each client's needs. She skillfully blends strengths-based perspectives with psychodynamic theory, recognizing that every individual brings their own set of strengths and experiences to the therapeutic process. By incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, she helps clients develop practical skills to manage their emotions and change unhelpful thought patterns. Mindfulness principles are woven throughout her practice, empowering clients to cultivate present-moment awareness and find inner calm amidst life's storms.
Drawing from her extensive experience, Christiana specializes in helping clients navigate complex emotional terrain. Whether grappling with anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship issues, she provides a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. Her expertise extends to working with individuals struggling with racial identity issues, self-harming behaviors, bipolar disorder, and trauma and PTSD.
Christiana's ultimate goal is to help clients uncover their authentic selves and foster personal growth. This journey may involve setting healthy boundaries, processing loss or life transitions, or changing long-standing behavioral patterns. Through her guidance, clients can find relief, improve their quality of life, and develop deeper interpersonal connections, compassion, and self-insight.
In Christiana's own words, echoing Marcel Proust, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." She invites clients to embark on this transformative journey of self-discovery and healing, offering her expertise and support every step of the way.
