Cristina Ally, LMHC

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the owner of Flourish Counseling. I hold a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in marriage and family, and I'm trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, and the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories.

I'm passionate about walking alongside trauma survivors, leading groups, and using expressive arts in healing. My work has included serving survivors of human trafficking and leading recovery groups for women across the Orlando area.

A Gentle, Proven Path

Healing from trauma doesn't require reliving it.

You don't have to retell your story endlessly to be free of it. The work tends to unfold in three movements.

Step 01

Safety first

We build trust and grounding. You set the pace, and nothing happens before you're ready. For children, this often starts through play.

Step 02

Resolve, don't relive

Using ART and EMDR, guided techniques help the brain reprocess traumatic images so they lose their grip on the present.

Step 03

Grow forward

With the past quieter, we build the skills and self-understanding that carry you into steadier, fuller days.

Begin When You're Ready

Take a courageous first step.
