Our Wellness Collective

Hi! My name is Christi Fuentes and l look forward to getting to know you! My primary focus is working with children and teens experiencing symptoms of anxiety and OCD. I warmly welcome clients that are part of the Deaf and/or LGBTQIA+ community. I am fluent in ASL and as a queer therapist myself, I strive to create a safe and affirming space where people can exist authentically, without judgment.

​

As a therapist, my goal is to help children and teens find joy! I do this by working with kiddos to discover their strengths, while introducing coping skills to help them improve their overall well-being. I borrow from many different theory bases, including Play Therapy, Creative Arts Therapies, Exposure Response Prevention and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

​

I love working with youth and have a special interest in anxiety disorders. Finding a therapist who specializes OCD in children can be difficult. OCD is sadly misunderstood by society, which can leave clients and their families feeling isolated. I provide a safe and fun space for children and teens to learn skills, stand up to their fears, and find joy.

Rooted in Healing. Inspired by Nature. Guided by Connection.

My journey into massage therapy began with a desire to help others reconnect with their bodies, find relief from the stresses of daily life, and experience a deeper sense of balance, peace, and well-being.

During my time studying massage therapy in Costa Rica, I was surrounded by the healing influence of nature, a strong sense of community, and a culture that values presence, connection, and living with intention. The beauty of the natural environment and the relationships I built with others taught me the importance of slowing down, listening deeply, and honoring the connection between the body, mind, and spirit.

My experience in Costa Rica shaped not only my approach to massage therapy but also my values as a practitioner. I believe healing happens through connection—with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where each client feels respected, supported, and cared for.

My approach is rooted in compassion, integrity, and the belief that every body carries its own unique story. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to meet your individual needs, whether you are seeking relief from tension, support through physical challenges, a calmer nervous system, or simply a moment to pause and restore.

My practice is built on the values of respect, growth, resilience, serenity, and community. It is my honor to provide therapeutic touch that helps you feel grounded, renewed, and more at home within your own body.

Hello, I’m Cathy!  I’m a therapist who loves helping kids, teens, families, and adults discover the strengths they didn’t realize they already had...sometimes hidden, sometimes loud, always worth celebrating. Think of our work together as a collaborative treasure hunt: we explore your resilience, inner resources, and wisdom, toward what feels lighter, steadier, and more connected. Whether you’re navigating big feelings, life transitions, parenting stress, trauma, or the unique experiences within the adoption constellation, I’m here to explore it all with you  through movement, play, and brave, curious conversations in a way that feels warm, collaborative, and deeply human.

My work is guided by the belief that meaningful change grows through safe, supportive relationships. In sessions, you might find us talking or drawing, or maybe we'll be stretching, stomping, breathing, or using playful strategies that help bodies and brains work together. I use play-based person‑centered interventions supported by relational neurobiology to help you understand your emotions, strengthen connection, and find your resilience. I’m especially passionate about family work—helping caregivers and kids co‑create rhythms of regulation, communication, and joy.

Most importantly, therapy with me isn’t about fixing you, your child, or your family. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, celebrating what’s already strong, and building meaningful change that feels doable and authentic. Together, we’ll explore what you need, what feels supportive, and how to create a path forward that honors your story, your relationships, and your capacity to grow.

My clinical practice is grounded in a relational philosophy, recognizing that healing and growth occur most effectively within the context of authentic and trusting relationships. I prioritize open communication, empathy, and mutual respect, fostering a therapeutic alliance that empowers patients to share their experiences and actively participate in their care.

My approach integrates evidence-based psychiatric treatment with a commitment to understanding each patient’s unique story, values, and goals. By creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment, I support individuals in navigating complex emotions, building resilience, and achieving meaningful recovery.
