Families First Mental Health Services

Federal Way, Washington

Welcome!

I’m Dr. Cristina Davis.

I’m passionate about helping families work through difficult obstacles by encouraging them to live in accordance with the values informed by their faith to resolve conflict and grow stronger, together.

In particular, I have a deep and sincere compassion for children exposed to adverse childhood experiences as well as adult individuals that still carry their wounds from childhood. Wounds are painful, and if they have not been treated with the adequate care needed to heal, they will show up time and time again.

My approach is simple…

Faith, family, follow-through.

I encourage families to follow their faith, remain unified as a family, and prompt adults to follow through and do hard things so children do not have to. Generational cycles of dysfunction can and have been broken, but the change starts with you.

If you are willing to consider what impedes your growth, stay receptive to feedback, and motivated for change, I can help by being gentle with your vulnerabilities, attuned to your emotional needs and be a consistent support in your corner.

I encourage you to live in accordance with the values informed by your faith.

Counseling for Children and Teens

Children and teens experience big feelings, similar to adults, however, they often lack the insight to identify their emotions and skills to express ‘big feelings’ effectively.

Maybe you are here because you’ve noticed the following concerns in your child or teen:

  • Failing grades or problems at school

  • Impulsive behavior including outbursts

  • Chaotic morning or evening routine

  • Challenges with social skills

Whatever the reason, counseling provides a safe space for children and teens to learn new skills and grow.

If you feel your child could benefit by meeting with a professional, contact me to schedule an appointment today.

Counseling for Couples

Relationships are built with imperfect people. Maybe you are here because your relationship is challenged by one of the following:

  • Difficulty resolving conflict

  • Intimacy concerns

  • Poor communication

  • Unproductive, exhaustive conversations following a betrayal

Whatever the reason, counseling may help. When done, you can expect to feel seen, known, understood and closer to your significant other than ever before.

If you feel ready to take the next step to improve your relationship, contact me to schedule an appointment today.

Counseling for Families

Each family has history—often that involves seasons of conflict or major life transitions. Maybe you are here because your family has experienced:

  • A suicide attempt and/or completion

  • Adjustment following a major substance abuse issue

  • Returned home after an extended absence

  • Unhelpful patterns of communication

Whatever the reason, family therapy provides a safe space for everyone within the family system to be heard and understood. You can expect that tension and unhelpful patterns will be identified, skills will be learned to resolve conflict with greater ease, and a greater sense of unity will emerge.

If you deeply desire peace and harmony within your family unit, contact me to schedule an appointment today.
