Hi there, I'm
Christina Milazzo
About
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Lake Mary and serving Central Florida. I’ve been a therapist for more than 12 years. Prior to starting my own private practice, I provided therapy in a variety of settings: middle and high schools, domestic violence shelters, and community mental health clinics.
Some of the best counselors are ones that have known pain and done their own healing work.
My personal Experience
My journey into supporting the mental health of women and teen girls began during my own teenage years. At 17, my parents divorced, straining my relationship with my mother. Suddenly, I had to navigate life without her guidance. This loss pushed me to seek healing through counseling. Those years of personal growth served as a catalyst to help other young girls as they pursue their own healing from the many pains and hardships that come in adolescence.
Infertility Diagnosis
My passion for helping women only grew stronger when I personally experienced some health issues. I remember feeling like just another number in the system, struggling to get the answers and support I so desperately needed. After being bounced around from one doctor to another, I received a heart-wrenching infertility diagnosis that shifted my whole perspective on women's health. That experience inspired me to focus on getting my mind, heart, and body healthy in a holistic way. It’s become my mission to help other women feel seen, heard, and truly supported on their own health journeys.
Holistic Perspective
I knew I wanted to help other women find healing emotionally, physically, and spiritually as well. I believe change and healing isn't a one size fits all approach. So often women are treated only through the lens of a diagnosis, when in actuality there could be so much going on that's contributing to how they're feeling. When you come to see me, I look beyond the diagnosis or what’s on the surface. I want to hear your story, understand the pain you’ve gone through, and about your hopes and dreams. By addressing mental and emotional health from a holistic perspective, bringing in faith and working towards a healthier mind and body, that’s where the real healing and transformation happen.
No one understands the unique challenges and struggles of women and teen girls better than another woman who has walked a similar path.

FROM CHRISTINA
what it's like to work with me
I understand that seeking therapy is a significant decision, and it's important to know what to expect. In our sessions together, you'll find a blend of warmth, compassion, and genuine understanding. Clients often tell me that our time feels like chatting with a trusted friend- someone who listens without judgment and offers thoughtful insights. I strive to balance lighthearted moments with deep, meaningful conversations, ensuring that we address serious topics while also sharing a laugh or two along the way.
We will also incorporate Evidence Based Practices such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Narrative Therapy into our work together. With a thorough assessment of your needs and your goals, we will create a tailored treatment plan made just for you!

My Guiding Principles
things i love
I come from a big, close-knit Italian family, with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all living on the same street growing up. Sundays meant five-course meals by my grandmother, filled with laughter and delicious food. I’m now working on obtaining my Italian dual citizenship and hope to one day retire in Italy.
Traveling brings me so much joy! From ziplining in Costa Rica to seeing the Northern Lights in Norway, trekking the Great Wall of China, climbing Machu Picchu, and watching the sunset in Santorini, some of my best memories come from exploring new places. With over 30 countries visited, Italy remains a favorite - it's always a great idea!
Motherhood didn’t come as I envisioned. After marrying later in life, my husband and I faced infertility and pregnancy loss. Years of testing and treatments eventually led us to adoption and our daughter, Evelyn Faith. Her name, meaning "light and life," reflects the joy and hope she brought us after our journey of loss and faith.
