Cristina Benitez Allen, LMFT
Imaginal Therapy + Sacred Arts, Therapist | Ritualist
Sacramento CA
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 Cristina Benitez Allen LMFT, the creator and steward of Imaginal Therapy, a private practice that offers psychotherapy and sacred arts coaching both virtually and in person located on the lands of the Nisenan, Sacramento, CA. As a queer Latinx/Chicana mother, writer, and somatic psychotherapist with over thirteen years of clinical experience in the field of Depth Psychology, I support my clients with a holistic approach to connect the wisdom of the body and soul through imagination, intuition, mindfulness and dreamwork. My treatment focus is on relationship, cultural wounds, trauma resolution, ancestral lineage repair, animist parenting and reconnecting to the sacred.
I am a ritualist, trained as a priestess and offer sacred arts coaching. I am rooted in animist cosmology and earth-honoring values, as I actively participate in the decolonizing movement, reclaiming my ancestral healing traditions. Hailing from the villages of Juchipila, Zacatecas, Mexico, I have a deep love for land and nature spirits, mythology, mysticism, tradiciones y cultura.
