About Christina
CHRISTINA VANZELLA, LCSW, PMH-C
Hi there! I’m Christina, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Psychotherapist and founder of Renewed You Therapy. I’m so happy you’re here!
I offer psychotherapy services to those living in all of Tennessee, New Jersey, Virginia, and Washington D.C. through a virtual platform and walk and talk sessions to those local to Atoka, TN. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Seton Hall University and a Master’s Degree from Fordham University in Clinical Social Work. I have been working in the mental health field for many years and in private practice settings for 10+ years.
Like many others, I too have experienced pain and difficulties at times throughout my life journey, and that’s part of the reason why I feel passionate about helping others through theirs. I understand that reaching out for help takes courage. Whether you are experiencing overwhelming stress from life’s challenges, anxiety, depression, or just looking to gain personal insight, my aim is to provide a safe, empathetic space for you to feel heard, understood, and supported. My style is warm, relaxed, and welcoming and I strive to provide a comfortable environment for every individual I work with.
My certification in perinatal mental health has given me the experience working with women through the challenges related to pregnancy, infertility, and the postpartum period. I have experience helping both young adults and adults through anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions and other mental health challenges. I also have a soft spot for working with military spouses, as I am one myself, and can understand the unique challenges they may face with relocation, separations from loved ones, employment changes, etc.
When I’m not in the therapy space, you can find me spending quality time with my family and friends. I also enjoy reading books; I love a good psychological thriller or historical fiction novel. On weekends, I like to explore new cities, restaurants, and binge my favorite TV shows.
If you’re ready to begin your healing journey please feel free to reach out. I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation call to those interested. I look forward to hearing from you!
“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

How I Can Help
Individual
Therapy
Individual therapy may be helpful for those who are seeking one-on-one support with navigating whatever challenges they are facing. Individual therapy can also be helpful for individuals interested in deepening their relationship with themselves and developing insights for understanding their behavior.
These virtual sessions are being offered through a secure video platform.
Walk & Talk
Therapy
Walk and Talk therapy combines individual therapy with the healing power of nature and movement. We can meet at a nearby park or trail and have the therapy session while walking at a pace that is comfortable to you. Wearing comfortable shoes and clothing is recommended and there is always an option to shift your session to a virtual session if the weather does not allow for an outdoor meeting.
