Cristy Benitez Allen, LMFT
Imaginal Therapy + Sacred Arts | California Licensed Therapist, Sacred Arts Coach, Ritualist + Ancestral Medicine Practitioner
Sacramento CA
I support folks in deepening their connection to the body, soul, and greater powers through imagination, intuition, mindful awareness, non-dogmatic prayer, and dreamwork.
I value kindness, warmth, truth, beauty, humor, play, and curiosity in the healing journey.
In session, I create a sacred circle, assuring ritual safety, where we bridge to the sacred with guides and guardians to bring the healing needed. Here we gain clarity, focus intentions, take equitable actions, and rest in the unfolding goodness.
My aim is to be of service to our collective healing by awakening our hearts with courage, kindness and gratitude with the utmost acknowledgment for the real harms and troubles we face. Your struggle is my struggle. None of us are liberated until we all are liberated. My prayer is for the protection of this Earth, our Mother, and all creation. May we all remember the true interdependence at play and relate responsibly for the health of the world soul in service to the sacredness of life, death, and regeneration. May it be so.
I am a Chicana mother, storyteller, licensed psychotherapist and sacred arts coach centering ritual healing and soul care. My people and I root deep from the villages of Juchipila, Zacatecas, Mexico. I am a queer animist mestiza, detribalized Caxcan and Iberian, born and raised on Tongva land, Los Angeles.
With fourteen years oriented in depth psychology and eight years of sacred arts training, I offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Imaginal Dreamwork, Hakomi, and Ancestral Lineage Healing. Through decolonial praxis, I priestess to reclaim agency backed by the sacred, the ancestors, honoring kinship ethics, aiding cultural repair, trauma resolution, and animist parenting.
