Who I Help

EMDR for Emotional/Physical Abuse, Neglect & Sexual Trauma
I specialize in EMDR therapy for adults recovering from emotional abuse, childhood neglect, and sexual trauma. These experiences often leave lasting impacts on self-worth, relationships, and the nervous system. EMDR helps process stuck memories and reduce the intensity of triggers so you can feel safer in your body and more present in your life.

Latinx adults navigating trauma, family expectations, and identity
I work with Latinx adults navigating trauma, cultural expectations, family roles, and identity. Whether you’re carrying the weight of intergenerational patterns, navigating bicultural stress, or healing from experiences that were minimized or silenced, therapy can help you reclaim your voice and set boundaries that honor both yourself and your roots.

Adult Children of Immigrant Parents‍ ‍
Growing up as the child of immigrant parents often means carrying high expectations, code-switching between cultures, and sometimes feeling like you never fully belong in either world. I help adult children of immigrants process the unique pressures, loyalty binds, and identity questions that come with that experience—so you can build a life that feels authentic to you.

Adult Children of Addicts / Parents with Substance Use Issues
If you grew up with a parent who struggled with addiction, you may have learned to walk on eggshells, take care of everyone else, or disconnect from your own needs. I support adult children of addicts in understanding these survival patterns, healing the impact of inconsistency and emotional unavailability, and learning to trust themselves and others again.

Healing After Leaving a Relationship with an Addict
Leaving a partner who is actively using or in active addiction is its own kind of trauma. The chaos, broken promises, and emotional rollercoaster don’t just disappear when the relationship ends. I help people process the grief, rebuild a sense of safety, and untangle the trauma bonds so they can move forward without carrying the residual fear and self-doubt.

Support for Religious Trauma & Faith Transitions
Leaving a high-control religious group or recovering from spiritual harm can leave lasting guilt, fear, and confusion even when no one ever raised a hand. I support people processing the quiet weight of shame and self-doubt that often follows—helping you rebuild autonomy, untangle harmful beliefs, and decide what (if anything) spirituality means to you now, on your terms in safety.

Christine A. Velasquez, LCSW 61047

“Let me start by saying that Christine is an amazing human being. Going to therapy is a fairly daunting task, or at least it was for me. Not knowing who I was about to open up to and reimagine the darkest points of my life with was scary. However, Christine welcomed me with open arms and created a safe space for me to not only share my traumas but also experience post-traumatic growth—a concept I never thought I would be able to achieve. Above all, she is incredibly passionate about helping people grow into the best versions of themselves. I am so grateful to have found Christine!”
