Christina Weiss, LMFT, MPHC, is a licensed psychotherapist with more than two decades of experience in the mental health field. Her work centers on trauma treatment, complex PTSD, and the intricate overlap of eating disorders, addiction recovery, and dissociation.

In addition to her clinical work, she serves as Clinical Director, providing supervision and guiding clinicians in trauma‑informed, relational, and embodied treatment frameworks.

Her leadership background includes serving as Clinical Director at Center for Discovery – South Bay and as Founder and Clinical Director of a Partial Hospitalization Program for eating disorders in the South Bay region of Los Angeles. Earlier in her career, she held therapeutic roles across multiple levels of care—including residential addiction treatment, eating disorder programs, and university counseling centers—giving her a comprehensive understanding of the full continuum of mental health services especially in the eating disorder field.

Christina holds a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and a master’s in Communication Management with a Public Health emphasis from USC’s Annenberg School. She also completed training at the Tavistock Institute in London in Attachment and Psychodynamic Theory and is currently pursuing Level II certification in the Treatment of Complex Trauma and Dissociation through the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD).
