Christina Lacey, LMFT

Christina Lacey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York who brought her long-standing interest in therapy into a second career after raising a family and gaining clearer personal perspective. She works in private practice with couples, individuals, and older adults, a population she identifies as underserved, and she is also a certified grief counselor.

Her own experiences with therapy as a teenager and later as an adult shaped her appreciation for what sustained, thoughtful talking therapy can provide. Growing up in a family affected by anxiety and depression informed her understanding of how mental health influences the whole family system, and it guides her systemic lens when assessing sources of distress and pathways to change.

Christina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and an open mindset in clinical work. She blends solution-focused and narrative approaches with practical goal-setting, highlighting clients' strengths as tools for change and checking progress regularly to maintain motivation and direction. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, life transitions, caregiving and aging issues, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and intimacy and parenting challenges.

Patients can expect collaborative, measured work aimed at uncovering options and building sustainable coping strategies so individuals and families can move toward greater well-being.
