Welcome to Graceful Self Help Counseling
Compassionate telehealth psychotherapy for adults, couples, and families with Christina F. Reed, M.Ed., MPA, Marriage and Family Therapy Associate.
Psychotherapy is provided under clinical supervision.
Graceful Self Help Counseling was created to provide a calm, supportive, and emotionally safe space for healing, connection, and personal growth.
Christina's approach is warm, trauma-informed, collaborative, relational, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change is more possible when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.
Graceful is a telehealth-focused practice, allowing clients to participate in psychotherapy from a reasonably private location using approved technology. At the time of each psychotherapy session, clients must be physically located in a jurisdiction where Christina is legally authorized to provide services.
