Insight Life Counseling

"As a former counselor, I came in a little skeptical thinking I was going to get the standard fare CBT I became disenchanted with. I was 100% wrong. It has been absolutely refreshing to meet a free-thinking counselor with depth! As much as I don’t want to write this review out of fear her calendar will get even more full - Cristina deserves it - and other wounded people out there can truly benefit from her gentle spirit and therapeutic skill. Gail is also a fantastically kind soul! I wouldn’t want anyone else greeting me when I get there. May God bless everyone at Insight Life Counseling. ❤️"

"My experience was with Sara. She enabled my abuser. He used everything she said to further abuse me. I was not aware of the fact that I was being emotionally tormented and that I was in emotional trauma. I’m 33 weeks pregnant with his child, he left for a new gf, he left me with a broken lease, all the bills and responsibilities and wants nothing to do with the baby. He is out partying and drinking every night, living with his parents and I’m left to pick up all the broken pieces with a new child on the way. She did not pay attention to the very clear signs and made things much worse. Abusers seem great to people who don’t know them and therapist here need to really educate themselves on manipulative, emotional abusers and learn the signs to look for. He suggested the therapy, I was hesitant because I know he’s good at manipulating people and playing the victim. The price I’ve had to pay for her ignorance is devastating."

"It's clear from your first visit that Cristina brings a keen intellect and a compassionate heart to her practice. Her sessions feel breezy and unhurried, yet also laser focused on problem solving. She has gathered a like minded team of professionals and is making Insight Life Counseling an incredible resource for those who are facing the turmoil of change that life often brings. I can recommend Cristina Treadway and Insight Life Counseling without reservation."

"Today marks ONE YEAR of taking the biggest step of my life… Walking into Cris’s office! The last year has drastically changed my life and I will forever be grateful. I finally feel that I can remove my armor that I have guarded myself with for so long, I let my walls down, and I truly can be myself without apology. I have rebuilt my foundation, I have found forgiveness, I have healed my inner child, I have broken the cycle. Admitting that I could not fix every single issue that has happened in my life was something extremely hard for me. I have always been the type of person to keep all of my issues in secret and handle everything on my own. “Chin up, smile on” Something I always told myself… NOT anymore!! There is no book to overcoming trauma, but by the Grace of God, my therapist, and my support system; these tools hold so much value in my life. I know that so many other individuals suffer with their own “secrets” and I’m here to say, you are allowed to ask for help, you are allowed to crumble, you are allowed to be sad, you allowed to be vulnerable, you are allowed to be angry, you are allowed to shed your armor. Find your path, in your own time and find your peace. ❤️ Thank you God for never leaving my side and thank you Cris for all you have done!! #mentalhealthawareness #everyonehastrauma #youarenotalone #shedyourarmor #breakthecycle #stillhealing YOU deserve to be HAPPY in your own SKIN!"

"As soon as I walked in the door, I felt comfort, in the nautical decor, friendly staff and I knew, I was in the right place to take steps in resolving some concerns of mine. I possibly could have come to the same resolutions on my own however, with Insight Life Counseling, they were able to propel me forward, much more quickly, which has allowed me to embrace a more peaceful life."
