Long ago, Christina got curious and studied human nature from every angle to create a practice that works for you!
She founded her private practice to deliver specialized person-centered therapeutic support. As a specialist sexologist, she focuses on the latest science-based solutions that address the root causes of problems.
Approaches: humanistic, holistic, person-centered, brief therapy, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, emotionally focused, acceptance-commitment, Gestalt, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, bio-psycho-social, inclusive, LGBTQIA+ sensitive, neuro-affirmative, poly-friendly, pleasure-based, mindfulness-based, embodied and based on PLISSIT- and MEBES-models to assess sexuality respectfully yet effectively.
The services of clinical sexologist (a non-physician clinical sexologist) Christina Lindea Saarinen differ from typical therapy consultations in a few ways.
At times, couple- and family therapists, marriage counselors, psychologists, and mental health experts may feel unconfident when addressing sexual and intimacy concerns. They may think they are not trained enough in sexual medicine.
If a relationship specialist regards sexuality-related issues as a secondary concern to be dealt with later, untreated sexual issues will often worsen, with serious adverse effects on the overall relationship.
Practitioner Christina aims to provide personalized therapy plans to integrate couples’ relationship counseling and sex therapy into a single process. The aim is to support partners to work simultaneously on sex-related concerns and problematic relational and marital dynamics from the first session.
As a sexologist, Christina specializes in comprehensive sexual health and relational wellness for all genders.
Clinical sexologist Christina Lindea Saarinen is a referred expert with exceptional results from personalized, multidisciplinary treatment plans. These range from the management of low sexual desire to complex sexual dysfunction conditions in young men and women, such as psychogenic erectile dysfunction and treatments for difficult or painful intercourse and sex (dyspareunia).
Sexologist Christina Lindea is a skilled and empathetic counselor dedicated to empowering clients to have agency over their well-being by providing a safe space for questions and lived experiences.
She offers a short-notice scheduling option and may be available within a few days’ notice if you need online counseling or an in-person appointment in an emergency. You can also schedule your appointment in the evenings and on weekends if required.
Unlike clinic facilitators, therapist Christina Lindea can offer more discretion and minimal data collection in a non-clinical private practice setting. Your details are never stored electronically, and she does not share any information about you.
All consultations are private and confidential. You will only communicate with practitioner Christina Lindea and will not meet anyone else, as her office has no waiting room.
At the first appointment, we discuss your goals, how Christina can help you, the available methods, and the duration of the process.
Attending therapy and counseling sessions regularly is essential to getting the most value. In the beginning, the best outcomes in relationship counseling and psychosexual therapy are achieved by committing to appointments at agreed-upon intervals, often 7 – 14 days.
You can be honest about everything during your session, especially your thoughts and feelings. Therefore, mentioning and discussing resistance is welcomed because the therapist’s role is to ensure you feel supported and respected on your path to healing and integration.
Your discomfort is a good thing. Your uneasiness helps you learn to feel your feelings instead of avoiding them.
After the first appointment, you can expect to feel much lighter and gain perspective on your situation and the therapy process.
