Cristina Leslie
LMFT
Cristina helps couples and adults understand the stories, patterns, and emotions shaping their lives so they can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
Cristina Leslie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with couples, young adults, and adults navigating relationship patterns, discernment, remarriage, attachment wounds, anxiety, and major life or faith transitions. She especially enjoys working with clients who are willing to reflect deeply on how they see themselves, their relationships, and the choices they want to make moving forward.
Cristina’s style is warm, direct, conversational, practical, and often humorous. She believes that being genuine in the therapy room creates space for greater honesty and useful self-reflection. Her work integrates Narrative Therapy, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR to help clients become more aware of the emotions, beliefs, and patterns influencing their behavior and relationships.
Her educational background emphasized both the biological and environmental influences on human behavior, which contributes to her interest in understanding the full context of a client’s life. Cristina is EMDR trained, has completed Gottman Levels 1 and 2, has Emergency Responder training, and has participated in an AAMFT fellowship.
Outside of therapy, Cristina enjoys spontaneous weekend trips to Utah’s many natural treasures, landscaping, and keeping a puzzle going on the coffee table.
