About Christina
Hi! I’m so glad you’ve found me!
My name is Christina Neal (formerly Lawrence) and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor and the owner of Guiding Point Counseling. I have been providing counseling services to individuals, families, and couples since 2016.
I also know exactly what it feels like to be “stuck.” Stuck in a never-ending cycle of trying to prove my worth by being “perfect.” Stuck in a job that made me feel miserable and unfulfilled. Stuck in a relationship that wasn’t healthy or working anymore, no matter how much I tried. Feeling like I had no voice and no control over my own life.
I’ve been where you are. Exhausting doesn’t even begin to describe it. Overwhelming. Terrifying. I remember all of the thoughts that would race through my head: “What if I make the wrong choice and end up even worse than before? Why would I take such a risk? Maybe this is all I deserve.”
Maybe you’re saying those same things to yourself right now. Let’s work together to find and help you live in your truth.
I received both my bachelor’s in psychology and my master’s in counseling from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have worked as a therapist at an inpatient behavioral health hospital. I also have over four years experience at a Children’s Advocacy Center working with families who have been impacted by many different types of trauma. I started Guiding Point because I saw a need for more trauma-informed, relational-based therapists in our community. I am also proud to now be an LPC-Supervisor and help train up new counselors who are passionate about helping others.
What I see over and over is that many of the negative thoughts we have on a daily basis, or the limits that hold us back from achieving our goals, are rooted in some sort of trauma and/or attachment issues.
If you’ve never been able to trust or rely on anyone else in your life, and you’ve had to manage the feelings of everyone else around you, it makes complete sense that you wouldn’t know how to trust yourself, use your voice, and live in your truth now.
That isn’t how it has to be anymore though. Send me an email or schedule a free consultation to talk more about what you’re going through and how I can help.
