Christina Brittain - Intuitive Counseling

"Christina Brittain is an absolute gem of a person and our family is grateful to have found her. We first found Christina after our teen suffered an emergency mental health episode. Our family was devastated and desperate, searching for avenues of help from all sources. I have always been open to alternative therapies of various sorts but have tended to put most of my faith in traditional pathways. Unfortunately, traditional therapy had not been helpful leading up to our child’s mental health crisis. After the event traditional therapy (which focused heavily on labels and overthinking the problems) continued to prove even more harmful than helpful. As Christina worked with our teen, I could see steady emotional improvement and healthier thought processes. During the first month of our teen’s sessions with Christina, I realized that I needed some help as well. Going through this traumatic event was incredibly lonely and scary (even though I have a very loving husband by my side). I have always had some underlying anxiety and now it was through the roof. Even before this event, my underlying anxiety had crept into my everyday life. I had been suffering from severe insomnia for the past six years. The insomnia was severe. I believed that something was truly wrong with me; that my body and my mind were broken and I had forgotten completely how to fall asleep. I was taking high doses of prescription sleep medication and even that was starting to not be effective. My sessions with Christina were centering and restoring. She helped me see a different perspective with life, a perspective that I can shift as needed to see things in a different light. The only way I can describe it best is to say that I both feel restored back to my “natural self” and I feel empowered since I now see that I can choose my outlook and my perspective. We are one year out from our first meeting with Christina and I can say that she has saved our lives. Our teen is continuing to thrive, I am sleeping like a baby (at least 6 out of any given 7 nights) without sleep medication of any kind, and our other child is now benefiting from some preemptive sessions just to help guide and promote a healthy perspective through the pre-teen years. We still follow through with our periodic check-ins with a licensed psychiatrist but as far as therapy is concerned, Christina is our rock; well, more accurately, our sparkling gem. We are so grateful that she continues to share her time and talents with us and that we get to benefit from her insightful, healing light!"

"I call Christina my angel who came to me when I was facing health issues and needed some grounding outside of a medical perspective. Her gentle demeanor and understanding of where my anxiety and fear of the unknown came from to create this feeling. She looked at who I truly was. She remined me of how to return to where my life needs to be. At first, I felt a drift on an unknown ship, uncertain if it was a log or a battleship, bouncing through the rough seas of uncertainty. Then, Christina helped me to recognize I had a strong ship that could take the rough seas and do it well. My life is a calm sail now, and I might add, with a big smile."

"Christina is such a bright light in my life! When I need emotional support, and/or lack clarity she knows just how to gently take me from my head (thinking too much) to my heart. She also has a keen intuition which seems to consistently be on the mark. I value her insight and, as importantly, her authentic way of sharing empathetically and with a compassionate heart - Christina has a true gift indeed!"

"I have seen other therapists, but when life brought me to Christina, I found the connection that I had been lacking. To be seen and heard. Her engagement in our sessions is as two people connecting. She is present with me through her energy and space. Sometimes what I am experiencing is just too big to really explain or put into words. Christina never tries to interpret the energy so that SHE understands it. She doesn't try to make a story out of all the feeling and energy I am experiencing. She doesn't try to get me to "use my words." We talk, but in those moments when something is bigger than understanding, Christina never asks me to shrink myself and my experience down to fit some pre fabricated idea. I really feel how "with me" she is. She supports me in being who I am without judging or evaluating me. She doesn't steer me toward an agenda or make me feel like I need to come in with an agenda to please. She helps me see and value that it is a process-- that I myself am a process. I see the change in me even without understanding everything. I see the difference between who I am and my thoughts, and I can pause more and not get caught up in them. I have more compassion, room and sense of validity of myself and my life. It's an eye-opening experience to have a partner in my exploration who sees that she will never fully understand or know me. It's a deeply respectful feeling to have someone treat you as that powerful, important, vast and whole. I hope you work with Christina. She'll help you grow in positive ways and she'll help you feel love and respect for ALL that you are."

"Christina has changed my life. I spent my entire life trying to find someone who “got me”. She has guided me through monumental self discovery, and helped me find the soul inside to love. I continue to see Christina regularly and will continue to do so as long as I am able. I highly recommend her if you are looking for some guidance “outside the the box”. When I come into her energy space, i instantly feel a sense of calm and ease. Christina‘s listening and body language skills are unmatched, and when my words don’t match my energy she knows. I’m immensely thankful for Christina. The work she and I to do together has and will be a beautiful journey."
