Born and raised in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, I bring over a decade of experience to Grow Therapy clients, supporting the development of more fulfilling relationships. I am driven by a lifelong passion for the work of psychotherapy, my inclination toward empathic human connection, and the enduring belief that we as humans have a natural tendency to move in the direction of psychological growth & healing. Since completing a master's degree in Counseling Psychology at The Wright Institute (Berkeley, CA) in 2011, the focus of my work has included homelessness, domestic violence, substance dependence, child welfare involvement, community gun violence, complex childhood trauma, teen pregnancy, parent-child attachment, stress management strategies, peripartum depression & anxiety, child behavioral & emotional issues. I have supported countless individuals and families to strengthen their internal toolkits for navigating a range of life difficulties, managing strong emotions, and building more connected and more rewarding relationships.

Hi! I'm Cristina Marra, LMFT. I have 15+ years of experience. I like to help adults and adolescents deal with life's challenges. I help mostly with depression and/or anxiety. My therapeutic approach depends upon the presenting problem and client. The approaches I rely on the most are client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR, as needed. I enjoy helping people by listening in a way that the client feels heard and understood. This then allows for better work to happen as strategies and coping tools are developed. I enjoy working with many different types of issues as we are all complex. My communication style I believe in, an open, caring, honest, and direct style of communication. I don't believe any subject is off the table.
