Cristina Dusa

I’m currently in graduate school training to become a couples therapist, and at the core of my work is something simple but powerful: the ability to listen and be present. Being a good listener, to me, means more than just hearing words—it’s about creating a space where people feel safe, understood, and not judged. I bring genuine curiosity and care into every conversation, allowing people to share openly at their own pace. My passion for connecting with others is what led me to this path. I’ve always been drawn to meaningful conversations and understanding the deeper layers of people’s experiences. Over time, I began to think more intentionally about how I could turn that passion into something that supports my community. That’s what motivates my work today, especially with individuals navigating health anxiety, grief, and relationship challenges. As someone in training, I approach each session with both humility and dedication. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I do offer a steady, compassionate presence. Whether you’re dealing with overwhelming worries about your health, processing a loss, or trying to improve communication in your relationship, I aim to meet you where you are and help you feel less alone in it. I also believe that support should be accessible. That’s why I offer sessions at a rate of $15 per hour, making it easier for more people to receive care without added financial stress. If you’re looking for someone who will listen, respect your experiences, and work alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges, I would be honored to support you.
