Christina Saad
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #131035
Learn More About Christina
I specialize in working with children and families as well as trauma. I utilize play therapy, art therapy, and helping improve communication skills with family members. I am here to help support you and your family especially when going through difficult situations.
I've led missions trips to downtown LA, Alaska, and Texas that have helped me along my spiritual journey. I have worked in a residential facility for eating disorders in Pasadena. My approach to therapy is providing empathy and warmth from the beginning of treatment and then helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals by walking alongside them in their journeys. My spiritual approach is that I will meet you where you are at. I graduated with my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling.

Brianna Aguilar
PCC Trainee
Learn More About Brianna
I am currently in a graduate program that specializes in clinical psychology with children and adolescents. My primary clinical interest is in the treatment of attachment based and internalizing disorders within these age groups. My faith is of paramount importance in my life as I value having a strong relationship with my church community and regularly participate in and lead worship ministry. I believe that there is an added benefit to combining effective clinical treatments with faith based practices. “For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the LORD '' Jeremiah 30:17 (ESV). Faith adds an element to the healing process that is reached through humble devotion and trust in the Lord. I believe it is my duty to emphasize this within the therapeutic process and to come alongside my clients as Jesus would in their journey to becoming a more complete individual.

I am committed to showing support and creating a safe space where my clients can find the grace and freedom to grow and invest in their emotional well-being. I understand that we may experience many challenges within our family, school, and relationships. These challenges can be overwhelming and push us to our limits. In those times, it is helpful to have someone who will walk with you through it.
I work with young adults, children and their families, parents, and couples as they face relational difficulties, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I am a Marriage and Family Therapy trainee completing my graduate degree at Azusa Pacific University. After many years of working in young adult discipleship ministries, I enjoy the opportunity to integrate faith in therapy as my clients request it.
