I was out on a prayer walk the other day when I spotted a basketball lying on the court. Something stirred in me, and before I knew it, I was shooting hoops just like I used to.

Basketball was a huge part of my childhood. My mom: my biggest supporter and my team coach poured so much of herself into the game and into me. Picking up that ball transported me right back to those simpler days… the sound of sneakers on court, the feel of the ball in my hands, and the joy of just playing.

Grief is strange like that. It sneaks up on you—not just in the hard or heavy moments, but in the unexpected ones. The ones that catch you off guard with their sweetness… the ones that take you back. My mom’s been gone for years now, but in that moment, I felt her. And more than anything, I felt God smiling down. Like He was saying, “I see you.”

To the woman grieving—whether it’s been 10 days or 10 years…you’re not alone. The ache may never fully leave us, but neither do the people we’ve loved. They live on in the echoes of our joy, in the things that made them who they were… and in the moments when heaven feels just a little closer.

God meets us in the grief. And sometimes, He surprises us with glimpses of healing in the most unexpected places—even on a basketball court.

It’s not just anxiety bringing women into counseling. Here’s 10 unexpected things I’m seeing today’s modern woman unpacking in the therapy room.
1) Wanting to heal from painful childhood wounds. More specifically, complex and strained relationships with their mothers.
2) Perimenopause symptoms (brain fog, mom rage, low libido, constant overwhelm).
3) Difficulty balancing motherhood, marriage, and work.
4) Healing from past infidelity or broken trust in their marriage.
5) Dating frustrations! Modern dating is one heck of a rollercoaster ride. 🎢
6) Difficulty setting boundaries with family members.
7) Resentment and unmet expectations. (In their marriage, with their parents or in-laws, in parenting, and in their relationship with God).
8) Infertility stress and pregnancy loss.
9) Grief. (Death and ambiguous losses).
10) Living with overwhelming fear of death or tragedy.

Which one of these surprised you most? Drop the number below, and let’s talk about it!

Just left a doctor’s appointment where the doctor literally spent 30 seconds answering my questions… with one foot out the door the entire time. (Not even kidding you, his hand was on the door k**b ha ha). It was a good reminder of why I don’t take insurance as a mental health counselor. In a world where insurance companies often dictate the pace and depth of care, I believe in offering something different.
•No rushed sessions- You deserve to be heard, not just a quick fix.
•No forced diagnoses- I won’t slap a label on you just to meet insurance criteria.
•Tailored, compassionate care. Not a one size fits all treatment plan.
•A commitment to your well-being always.

If you’re tired of feeling like just another number, I get it. Let’s change that. Your story matters, and I’m here to listen.

You know those patterns that always play out in your relationships? Or those feelings that you can’t seem to understand why they come on so strongly, and you feel like you have no idea how to control them? I assure you, you’re not crazy, broken, or doomed to repeat the same patterns your whole life. When it comes to patterns and cycles that seem to repeat in your life, I want you to consider a few things that are contributing to what’s playing out in your present. Knowing and understanding your story, inviting the Lord into those places of harm and hurt from the past, and working with a Jesus loving therapist may be just what you need to get unstuck and start to experience freedom and healing in your relationships.

Hey ladies, are you having unexplained anxiety, mood swings, or irritability? Before you start to think you’re going crazy or start diagnosing yourself with one of the many anxiety disorders in the DSM, may I suggest that you get a thorough look at your hormones? Inbox me if you’d like me to send you a list of all the labs I recommend every woman and teen girl ask their doctor about. Read more on the blog about how hormones could be what’s behind your anxiety, mood, and sleep symptoms. https://christinamilazzocounseling.com/2025/05/28/hormones-and-anxiety/

“No time! There’s never any time!!” – Jesse Spano, patron saint of the overwhelmed. 😅⏰
If you’ve ever felt like 50 minutes in counseling just isn’t enough to unpack the chaos, the childhood, the family drama… I hear you. I see you looking at the clock with 5 minutes left wondering if now would be a good time to let me know something super important!

That’s why I offer extended sessions, because sometimes healing needs more room to breathe (and vent, and process, and cry-laugh). Just let me know in advance if you think you may need a longer session. (Side note: am I aging myself with the Saved by the Bell reference)?

I’ll never forget May 18, 2021.
We were away celebrating our anniversary, trying to catch our breath in the middle of deep grief. Infertility had left us weary and uncertain.
We didn’t know if or how things would ever change.

And then… the call came.
“You’ve been chosen.”
We were going to be parents. I share this to remind you:
God doesn’t forget.
He sees every tear, every prayer, every sleepless night.
And sometimes, in the most ordinary moment, He moves.
Miracles can come when you least expect them.

If you’re still waiting—keep trusting.
He is faithful. Always.

Hey moms, don’t underestimate how powerful your healing is for your daughter and your marriage. As a fellow mom; I know you’d do anything for your child. You signed her up for therapy, you read all the parenting books, and pray for her daily, but have you began to process your own story and how it influences how you parent? If you’ve been considering your own therapy, now is the time. Pursuing your own emotional and spiritual health and healing can be one of the greatest gifts you can offer your children. Healthy parents raise healthy children. I support moms and teen girls as they pursue healing for their hearts, minds, and souls. 💕 Christian Counseling for women and teen girls in Lake Mary, Florida and across FL online.

If you’ve felt more anxious than usual lately, like your nerves are shot and everything is just too much, you’re not alone. Women are more prone to have anxiety than men, but lately women are struggling more than ever (and silently, because we just push on because sometimes it just feels like we have no choice). I’m hearing more women (myself included) say that their anxiety is so bad that they may need to consider medication. (No shame in that). I counsel women just like you who are burnt out and are struggling with anxiety and panic. From one tired, stressed out woman to another- you are not crazy and sometimes we just need another woman who gets it (and who’s trained to help)! 💕Schedule a free consultation: 386-243-7356

If you’ve felt more anxious than usual lately, like your nerves are shot and everything is just too much, you’re not alone. That weight on your chest- that’s not normal. That’s called anxiety. A common theme in the counseling room and even in my own personal life is seeing women feeling more anxious than usual. Their every day stress and anxiety feels like it’s turning more into panic, fear, and dread. What’s going on and why are us women feeling this more than usual lately? Here are a few reasons why you might be feeling this way: 1. You’re carrying more than you realize. Women are taking on more: balancing work/home life, the mental load of trying to remember ALL the needs of everyone you’re caring for, constant decision-making. Oh, and try to fit in a workout and self-care? Good luck. 2. You haven’t had real rest in… how long? Scrolling isn’t rest. Binge watching tv isn’t rest. Sleeping while tense doesn’t count either. Your nervous system may be running on fumes. 3. Information overload. We have more access to the world, the news, and the media. Every day we hear of bad news. Trying to hold this while also trying to process our own stress and pain weighs us down with a burden we were never meant to carry. I don’t know about you but every time I watch the news I find fear trying to creep in. We’d benefit from less noise and less information. 4. You’ve been in survival mode too long. When you live with chronic pressure or anxiety, even a small bump in the road can feel like a crash. Burnout is real, and I think it’s more common than ever before. If that’s you-burnt out, anxious, trying to hold it all together, I just want to say:

You are not weak. You are tired. And you deserve care too. God isn’t asking you to push through.
He’s inviting you to pause, to surrender, and to ask Him to carry some of the weight.
Oh, and If you’re ready to stop living in survival mode and genuinely need help with your anxiety, counseling might be the next right step too. Don’t have time to fit in another appointment into your schedule? (Don’t pretend you didn’t think it) Then online counseling is a great option!

Our Story

Hello! My name is Christina. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Reveille Counseling in Lake Mary, FL. I offer professional counseling, coaching, and mentoring for families, couples, adults, children, and teens. I love what I do, and find myself inspired by each person I sit across from in the counseling room. It’s my hope that every individual I counsel feels heard, understood, and leaves with a greater sense of clarity, hope, and healing. Some common issues I treat are: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, healing from infidelity, eating disorders, cutting/self-injury, codependency, and marital and premarital counseling. I have a heart for counseling adolescents, especially teen girls as they navigate the challenges and pressures that come with middle and high school. It brings such joy to see young women find their self-worth, learn and begin to implement healthy ways to cope, identify what a healthy dating relationship and a healthy friendship look like, and build stronger relationships with their parents and their peers. These are all things they can take with them into adulthood, and what a gift it is to me to see them accomplish these things before they enter into adulthood.

A little about me and my approach to therapy: I view myself as your teammate. I come alongside you and team with you to accomplish the goals you have. I offer you tools to utilize in order to accomplish your goals, and will help you identify and overcome barriers and areas of growth that may be needed to get you to the outcome you desire. Sometimes this means offering you new ways of communicating, relating, and thinking. If you feel “stuck,” it means that I get to help you become “unstuck.” If you feel confused, it means I get to help you sort out all of the conflicting emotions, thoughts, and fears to help you gain clarity. It truly is a team effort!

Before becoming a counselor at Reveille Counseling I provided therapy to families, adults, and children in various settings, from group homes to a college campus, to elementary and middle schools, to people’s living rooms, to foster homes. I bring all of these experiences with me to Reveille Counseling.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to take the next step in starting your counseling journey!
