LMFT, 13 years of experience
Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for the state of California and Arizona. I received my masters from the University of Phoenix and have been practicing therapy in California for about 13 years in various settings. I recently obtained my license to work with clients residing in Arizona. I have experience working in a healthcare setting, school campuses, domestic violence shelters, and with substance abuse.
In the first session, I aim to learn who you are and what brings you to therapy. I have a questionnaire I will start with, but I try to make it as personable and informal as possible. Time usually flys by but if time allows, with the client's help, we try to narrow down a couple of goals to continue exploring at the follow up sessions.
Having gone through my hardships in life such as peer relationships, and self-esteem issues, as an example, it's provided me with empathy and insight which help build rapport and connection with my clients.
I welcome anyone who desires to make a positive change in their lives. They are aware something needs to change but unsure how to do this. I enjoy assisting these client's in discovering they hold the key to this change and work towards building a healthy self-esteem and empowerment.
With CBT, client's learn to challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety and depression. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other.

I was having a very difficult time the day of my first meeting with Georgina Crisanto, I thought about canceling the meeting, but I really needed to talk to someone. In general, I felt that croissant was upset. I felt that Crisanto did not want to continue in the meeting. She then lied to me and verbally scheduled a future meeting, letting me know she would promptly send her phone number confirmation, which I didn't receive till maybe a few days before the meeting. This has caused so much stress because I haven't been able to get a refund for a no-show which I wasn't aware. I thought she canceled the meeting because I didn't receive an email right away or a confirmation. I did go ahead and schedule a second appointment with her before I knew she had not canceled the appointment for March 12 and I was waiting for that appointment to meet again because I knew that appointment was confirmed. I wanted to give her a second try because I thought she would be able to help me But at this point I do not want to meet with her and I don't know how to cancel my April 9 appointment.
