Christina McKenzie Roy, LPC/LCDC-I

Christina works with older teens ages 16–17, young adults, adults, parents, and caregivers through individual telehealth. Her areas of focus are anxiety and depression; parenting and caregiver stress; LGBTQ+ concerns; family and relationship stress; young-adult transitions; and trauma.

Christina offers person-centered therapy integrating CBT and DBT-informed strategies according to each client's needs and goals. Her style is open, direct, honest, and flexible. She works collaboratively to understand priorities, notice patterns, and select strategies that respect your culture, strengths, and lived experience.

Christina wants clients to feel comfortable rather than judged. Sessions may feel warm, genuine, and straightforward, with room for compassion and honest conversation. You do not need the perfect words or a complete plan before beginning.

Christina brings more than 20 years in education and more than a decade in counseling. She earned a bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration and a master’s degree in counseling.

I am a Black woman, a mother, and a person whose faith is personally meaningful to me. My own life has included struggle, change, and difficult seasons, and those experiences help shape the warmth and genuineness I bring to this work. I value multiculturalism and welcome the cultures, identities, beliefs, and perspectives that each person brings into the room. I also understand that clients may hold values and worldviews different from my own. Therapy with me is not automatically faith-based or spiritually directed, and I will not impose my faith or personal values on you. My role is to help create an honest, respectful space where you can speak openly, feel less judged, and explore what matters to you. I do not claim expertise in every culture or life experience; I come prepared to listen, remain curious, and honor the person in front of me.

Christina’s broader background also includes experience supporting anger and emotional regulation, workplace stress and burnout, and autism-related concerns.
