Hi y’all - I’m Cristina, the owner, founder, and sole therapist behind The Real Collective. I created TRC with one intention: to offer a space where both you and I get to show up as our most authentic selves. Being real isn’t always polished - sometimes it’s messy, tender, and in-progress - and that’s welcome here. Therapy is often portrayed as clinical or sterile, but TRC is the opposite of that. Beyond the letters after my name, I’m a human first: imperfect, genuine, and committed to showing up with you. I may not have every answer, but I’ll hold space for your story and walk with you as you discover what’s real and true for you.
