Christina Maestas
Clinician
Licensed Social Worker
You’ve known for a while that there are things from your past that you haven’t dealt with.
Maybe you’ve talked around them in therapy before. Maybe you weren’t ready to go there. Maybe therapy wasn’t even your choice at the time, so you showed up without really wanting to be there. Or maybe you got very good at pushing things down, moving forward, and telling yourself you were fine.
But you’re tired of carrying it.
You know the things that happened to you are still showing up in your relationships, your reactions, the way you see yourself, or the choices you make. And this time, you don’t want to just talk about what’s happening on the surface. You’re ready to work through what happened and change the ways it shows up in your life.
You don’t need someone who will push you faster than you’re ready to go, but you also don’t want to keep avoiding the things you came here to change. You know you’re capable of more.
Therapy can help you go deeper and work to heal the old wounds that are holding you back. You can process what you’ve been carrying and begin responding to life differently. You’re ready for what happened to be part of your story without continuing to shape so much of your life now.
How I Work:
Hi, I’m a licensed social worker, trauma specialist, and U.S. Navy veteran. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Colorado State University Pueblo in 2025. I draw from BST, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychoeducation to help you make meaningful changes and move toward where you want to be.
I’ll walk alongside you enthusiastically and will celebrate with you as you begin to see your growth. My hope is that as therapy progresses, you’ll feel more confident, learn ways to respond to life differently, and begin to be more of the person you’ve always wanted to be.
My approach is person centered, which means we’ll start where you are and focus on what matters to you. I believe there is value in learning to slow down in a world that constantly asks us to hurry. As you learn to approach yourself with more compassion, you can begin to recognize the strength you already have to handle what life brings.
Outside of therapy, I love being outdoors. You can usually find me golfing, fly fishing, hiking, or bird watching.
