ChRistianne Teixeira

I am Christianne Teixeira (she/her), a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario. I am committed to supporting individuals through a compassionate, client-centered and affirming approach. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, as well as a Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto, where I majored in psychology and sociology.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that every individual has unique strengths and deserves to be seen and heard for who they truly are. I am passionate about providing neurodiversity-affirming care, which emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diverse ways we experience the world, rather than simply focusing on “fixing” challenges. I work collaboratively with you to understand your needs and provide support that aligns with your unique circumstances. I aim to provide a safe space where therapy feels relevant, meaningful, and empowering for you.

I am here to walk with you on your journey, offering understanding and guidance every step of the way. Please contact me for a free consultation.
