Uptown Psychotherapy
Christina Felten, MSW, LCSWA
Master of Social Work & Licensed Social Worker
Your voice matters. Your healing matters. You matter.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from yourself? Maybe you’ve lost your spark. Maybe you feel untethered. Or maybe, you’re simply ready for a change. As a therapist, I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore whatever challenges you are facing and walk with you toward healing, clarity, and renewed energy.

ABOUT CHRISTINA
I work with adults, couples, and families who are navigating difficult experiences, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of trauma. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, relational approach–helping people better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck.
I have a particular passion for helping people heal from religious trauma and supporting those who are navigating the process of transitioning away from high-control religious environments. I also enjoy working with couples and families who want to strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and reconnect with one another.
My approach is warm, curious, and collaborative. Therapy should be a place where you can be honest without judgment and explore what’s underneath the surface. Depending on your needs, our work may incorporate EMDR, parts work, somatic approaches, or other experiential interventions. As a mother of four and a practicing artist and musician, I understand both the chaos of everyday life and the power of expression — creative and embodied — to help us process what words alone can't.

Collaborate with Christina
I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe enough to be honest, curious enough to explore, and supported enough to grow. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel seen and understood while also having space to challenge old patterns, discover new possibilities, and move toward a life that feels more authentically your own.
