Christina Borghese, LPC, LCADC, ACS is a therapist and clinical supervisor at Relief Mental Health in Red Bank, New Jersey. She provides in-person and virtual therapy for preteens, teens, and adults navigating diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, family conflict, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and substance and alcohol use.

Christina employs evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, strength-based approaches, positive psychology, and trauma-focused therapy. Her practice is rooted in empathy, non-judgment, and a strong therapeutic relationship to empower clients to achieve their goals and foster growth and healing. She is also aligned with body positivity and committed to providing inclusive care.

Christina earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey, and her Bachelor’s in Psychology from East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

With extensive experience in mental health and addiction counseling, Christina supports patients in discovering healthy coping mechanisms, managing symptoms, and achieving their goals. She understands the courage it takes to seek therapy and believes that anyone can benefit from counseling, no matter where they are in their journey. For those facing complex challenges, she is a strong advocate for incorporating medication or additional interventions when talk therapy alone has not brought relief.

As an integral part of the Relief Mental Health clinical team, Christina collaborates closely with other providers in Red Bank to ensure patients have access to all available services, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and SPRAVATO® (esketamine). She is passionate about guiding individuals through their mental health journeys, helping them discover their purpose, and supporting them in leading fulfilling lives.
