My name is Cristina Di Re, and I am a Graduate Level Intern at Grace Integrated, currently earning my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University. I believe therapy should feel like a safe and supportive space where you can show up as you are, without judgment. Beginning counseling can feel overwhelming, so I strive to create an environment that feels calm, collaborative, and grounded in trust. Through my education and clinical training, I have developed a strong appreciation for how life experiences, stress, and past challenges shape the way we think, feel, and respond. I am passionate about meeting individuals with curiosity as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth.

I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In our work together, we can explore and process the past and present to create goals and practical strategies to create healthier ways of thinking and responding for the future. I also have training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be especially helpful for processing trauma and reducing the emotional impact of past experiences. I believe in collaboration guided by your goals, where my role is to support, empower, and help you move forward at a pace that feels right for you. Ultimately, this is your space and your journey.
