Hi There!

My name is Christina Mortimer, and I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and the founder of Clarity Mental Health Counseling. I bring empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a judgment-free therapy approach where all clients can feel truly seen and supported. 

On a more personal level, I know what it’s like to sit on the other side of the therapy room as a client. After more than a decade of receiving my own therapy, I understand the bravery and courage it takes to reach out for help, and the healing power of a therapeutic space that feels safe, validating, and genuinely connected.

Outside of my role as a therapist, you can often find me hiking in nature, relaxing at the beach, watching a good movie, or playing with my two dogs, who bring so much fun and grounding to my life. These parts of me help shape the warmth, balance, and authenticity I bring into each session.


At the heart of my work is a simple truth: healing happens when you feel understood, supported, and empowered—and that’s the type of space I create for every person who walks through my door.

Some of the most common presenting concerns I work with are anxiety, ADHD, trauma, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I have a particular specialty working with survivors of sexual, attachment-based, and early childhood trauma.
