ABOUT CHRISTINA GENTRY, LMFT
You deserve care from someone who takes your marriage — and your faith — seriously.
Licensed. Trained. Clinically grounded. And deeply committed to helping women and couples find their way back to themselves and each other.
WHO I AM
I help people find steadiness in the middle of hard seasons.
I'm Christina Gentry — a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Gottman-trained couples therapist, and the founder of Integrative Sessions. I genuinely enjoy this work. Not in a practiced way, but in the way that happens when you've found something you were made to do.
The people I work with are often navigating seasons of conflict, disconnection, emotional exhaustion, or quiet patterns that have been building for years. Some come as couples. Some come as women who have been trying so hard to hold their marriages together that they've lost track of themselves in the process.
In either case, my job is the same — to offer care that is thoughtful, clinically grounded, and attuned to the whole person sitting across from me.
MY APPROACH
Clinical precision. Human warmth.
My work is informed by the Gottman Method — one of the most extensively researched frameworks in couples therapy — as well as Bowen Family Systems Theory, which looks at how the patterns we learned in our families of origin shape the way we relate to the people we love most.
I also hold certification as an Integrative Mental Health Professional, which means I pay attention to how nutrition, lifestyle, and physical health intersect with emotional and relational wellbeing. I am currently completing a doctorate in Integrative and Functional Nutrition — because I believe the whole person matters, not just the presenting problem.
"I work with what's actually happening — not just what's visible on the surface."
For clients who desire it, I offer Christian faith-integrated care — thoughtfully incorporating prayer and Scripture into the therapeutic process in a way that honors your values and your pace. Faith is never imposed, but it is always welcome.
