Christina Lama, MA, LPCC

My name is Christina Lama and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). From a young age, I knew I wanted to work with children and adolescents. I have always been inspired by their curiosity, resilience, and capacity for growth. I believe that play is a child’s first language—a natural way for children to explore their world, express emotions, process experiences, and build connections. Even during difficult times, children often communicate and heal through play.

I also recognize that adolescence and young adulthood are pivotal periods of development. During these stages, individuals often navigate the complexities of identity, relationships, and increasing responsibilities while continuing to process earlier life experiences. I believe that providing a supportive and validating space during these transitions can foster healing, self-understanding, and resilience.
My experience working with toddlers, children, adolescents, and adults has strengthened my understanding of young people’s unique developmental and emotional needs. These experiences have deepened my commitment to creating safe, supportive environments where children, adolescents, and families feel seen, heard, and valued.
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I utilize a child-centered and strengths-based approach to help clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to help children and adolescents develop the tools they need to thrive while fostering a sense of safety, confidence, and belonging.
