Cristina Primerano, LCSW

Mental Health Therapist

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and a decade of experience serving clients since 2015. Licensed in Oregon and multiple states, I bring extensive expertise working with diverse populations across various therapeutic settings.

My therapeutic approach centers on creating genuine partnerships through person-centered, trauma-informed methodologies. I believe healing happens at your own pace, which is why I tailor every session to your unique experiences and goals. Rather than cookie-cutter solutions, I meet you where you are without judgment.

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and codependency patterns. With my Bachelor’s in Women’s Studies and extensive background in women’s issues, I bring unique insight to how gender and societal pressures impact mental health. My clients often include high-achievers feeling overwhelmed, women facing gender-based expectations, and individuals seeking to break free from perfectionism and people-pleasing.

I integrate evidence-based techniques with mindfulness approaches to help you build lasting resilience and emotional regulation skills. My role is providing a safe, consistent space while empowering you to discover your own insights and solutions.

Together, we’ll transform challenges into growth opportunities, helping you develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and authentic ways of living. I’m committed to walking alongside you as you reclaim your strength and create meaningful change in your life.
