Christina Benboudiaf, LMHC

Christina Benboudiaf is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and challenges related to life transitions. Her background includes work with survivors of assault and abuse, individuals affected by human trafficking, people with problematic substance use, and those who identify as LGBTQ, as well as clients presenting a variety of mood and anxiety disorders.

Her therapeutic stance is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a nonjudgmental presence. Mindfulness-based skills play a central role in her work, and she blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered therapy, existential and mindfulness therapies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused approaches to match each person’s needs. She views the person in therapy as the expert on their own experience and aims to offer guidance and support to address difficult life areas and enhance overall quality of life.

Christina seeks to create an environment where people can be their authentic selves and build practical tools for coping, growth, and healing. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors each individual’s values and goals while helping them move toward greater resilience and purpose.
