Christina Samycia, PsyD

 I seek to empower others to discover their authentic selves and lead a more meaningful  life. I have a doctorate in clinical psychology, a masters degree in kinesiology and 15 years of experience as a psychologist and as an intuitive healing guide. I have an eclectic approach which combines psychotherapy, spirituality and mind-body healing. I utilize insight-oriented, existential, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral interventions in combination with mind-body techniques such as neuro-emotional technique (NET) and hypnosis.  As a holistic and spiritual psychologist,   I will assist you in understanding your story, how this story impacts you in the here and now and how it has shaped your belief systems on a conscious and subconscious level.  As an intuitive healing guide, I am able to  assist in uncovering and releasing conscious and subconscious patterns and belief systems that trigger emotional responses, which keep you stuck in dysfunctional behaviors and to heal trauma. Together, we will explore and process your story, begin to create a new set of belief systems and help you heal emotional pain. I am also able to assist you in navigating your natural healing journey. My specialties include depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship issues, trauma, as well as working with individuals who are highly sensitive, introverted and/or intuitive.  

As a holistic and spiritual psychologist,  I believe that in order to transcend our emotional pain and make permanent lifestyle change, it is important to work on the conscious, subconscious and energetic levels. I believe that your childhood experiences shape your views about yourself and the world. These experiences can be accompanied by emotional pain, which is registered in your cellular memory. How you appraise current reality triggers pain that is already there. Because you are responsible for your own healing, you have the power to change your belief systems and heal your emotional scars. I will assist you in understanding your story, how this story impacts you in the here and now and how it has shaped your belief systems on a conscious and subconscious level. As an intuitive, I am able to  assist in uncovering and releasing conscious and subconscious patterns and belief systems that trigger emotional responses, which keep you stuck in dysfunctional behaviors. Together, we will explore and process your story, begin to create a new set of belief systems and help you heal emotional pain. I am also able to assist you in navigating your natural healing journey.   

 I have helped many individuals achieve their personal and professional goals as an intuitive healing guide.  My services are  unique because I am able to identify and help you work through patterns and clear trauma that keep you from achieving your goals. Although we would like to believe that we are logical, rational and conscious thinkers, science has shown us that anywhere from 80-99% of all brain activity is subconscious. Because most of our brain activity is subconscious and motivates the decisions that we make, it is important to understand the belief systems that are stored on a subconscious level and make corrections to it. Additionally, we subconsciously seek out situations that support our subconscious belief systems. Therefore, to make real changes in your life, it is helpful to understand and change the beliefs that you hold in your subconscious mind, not just the conscious mind, detach energetically from them and create and reinforce new constructs. I am skilled at identifying and helping you clear and change these belief systems and heal trama through my various modalities to help you create the life that you desire.

  I have been an advocate of holistic medicine for 30 years.  According to holistic or eastern philosophy of health, the body has the ability to heal itself and illnesses are a result of an imbalance in the body. This philosophy of healthcare puts the responsibility on us. An alternative practitioner seeks to find the cause of the problem, not just eliminate or manage the symptoms and implements natural modalities such as herbs, nutritional supplements, dietary modifications, body work and acupuncture which supports the body to heal itself.  Holistic alternatives are not invasive nor destructive to our bodies.  It takes into account the whole person; mind, body and spirit. Our body not only has a biochemical makeup but an energetic one which needs to be in balance if it is to function correctly. Our energetic system is the precursor to biochemical reactions. Because our body is wise, our cells, organs, nerves and muscles know how to innately communicate. However, we encounter several influences that disrupt this flow of information such as emotional and physical stress. We also encounter toxins, nutritional deficiencies, electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs), pathogens etc. that disrupt the communication within our physical bodies.  Our unresolved feelings and triggered emotions are not only the contributors to emotional illnesses such as depression and anxiety but also impact our physical well-being because they disrupt our energetic and biochemical systems.
