Christina Bonniwell, LIMFT

Christina Bonniwell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Ohio with eight years of hands-on experience supporting people through some of their most difficult moments. She holds the credential LIMFT, which means Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and brings a practical, trauma-informed, client-centered approach to her work. Christina has spent much of her career in high-intensity settings - including psychiatric inpatient hospitals, crisis stabilization, and crisis intake lines - and has worked with children, teenagers, adults, veterans, active-duty service members, and older adults in skilled nursing facilities and county behavioral health clinics.

Her background includes trauma work and substance use treatment, and she has experience doing play therapy with kids as well as offering support to families in acute distress. That breadth of clinical work informs her belief that therapy should be tailored to each individual rather than fitting someone to a prewritten script. Christina emphasizes collaboration, pacing the work to match each clientâs goals and needs, and bringing empathy, creativity, and sometimes humor into sessions so therapy feels like something clients want to attend rather than a chore.

Clients can expect a clinician who is warm, direct, and steady - someone who has sat with many kinds of crisis and does not flinch when difficult material comes up. Christina focuses on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and she aims to help people find practical ways forward while honoring their personal story and pace.
