Hi There!

I’m Christina Mortimer, a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Clarity Mental Health Counseling. I provide individual therapy for children, teens, and adults seeking support, insight, and meaningful change. As a therapist serving Long Island and Nassau County, my goal is to help people feel less alone in what they’re going through and more empowered to navigate life with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. I believe that therapy should feel like a safe and supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are...without pressure, judgment, or expectations. My approach to counseling is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. When people feel genuinely heard and understood, real healing and growth can begin. 

My perspective as a therapist is also shaped by my own personal experience in therapy. Having spent more than a decade on my own therapy journey, I know firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for support. I understand the courage it takes to sit in the client’s chair, share your story, and trust someone with your experiences. That understanding informs the way I show up as a therapist - with compassion, patience, and deep respect for the process. 

Outside of the therapy room, I value activities that help me stay grounded and connected to the present moment. I enjoy hiking in nature, spending time at the beach, watching a great movie, and being with my two dogs, who bring so much joy and balance to my life.
