I’m Christina,
Founder of Cornejo Counseling.
Therapy for Teens & Adults Navigating Culture, Identity, and Pressue
I support teens and adults navigating anxiety, identity stress, and major life transitions, especially when balancing family expectations, cultural identity, and the pressure of being the first in their family to figure things out.
In this space, we focus on helping you step out of survival mode, understand the patterns shaped by your upbringing and environment, and build emotional stability that lasts, not just coping, but real, sustainable change.
Your Safe Space for Intergenerational healing
You might be dealing with:
-
Anxiety, overthinking, or people-pleasing
-
Balancing family expectations and trying to explore your own path
-
Life transitions (college, independence, relationships, adulthood)
-
Setting boundaries and feeling caught between different versions of yourself
Therapy with me can be space where you don’t have to perform or explain yourself. A place to explore your story, understand patterns that no longer serve you, and begin healing at your own pace.
We specialize in supporting clients through:
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
We'll learn to understand your emotions and build tools to feel more grounded and in control.
Trauma-Informed Care

Attachment-Focused Therapy

Cultural Identity and
First-gen Challenges

Life Transitions and Relationship Concerns

Person-Centered Approach
It's possible to ease into therapy at your own pace in a space where you feel safe and understood.
