About Cristina Cano
Hello and Welcome! I’m Cristina Cano, the founder of Haven Christian Therapy. I’m a Therapist in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
Psychology was always stigmatized in my community growing up, and like many children of immigrants, I was encouraged to pursue a career in business. During college, through my training at Los Angeles County Office of Education - Migrant Education Program, I found myself spending what was considered “too much time talking” to the parents during events and being curious about their hardship stories. I wish I could describe the change I saw in those parents when they were given 5-10 minutes of my uninterrupted time to just listen and validate their feelings. Talking really is the cure. I made the switch to pursue a career in Clinical Psychology, and I truly believe this is my purpose. I hope to bring awareness about the importance of mental health.
Through my own experiences, life transitions, and clinical training, I found my passion for working with individuals and couples through relationship issues, life transitions, as well as anxiety and depression. Life is hard, and relationships are even harder. My approach involves exploration of your past experiences and relationships, and how they are impacting your current emotions and behaviors.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor. I truly enjoy the one-on-one work I do with my clients and couples!
