Here at Colibri, we believe that you are the primary agent of your own wellness. This is supported through a person-centered and strength-based approach. We will work together to create a treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals. There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. We use a variety of treatment modalities based on what is best for you or your child’s needs. Some of the approaches we use include, but are not limited to, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and Early Childhood/Attachment-focused interventions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61648b59c25f8275636e5758/1760721227819-O5LZ8AI6Q0TJJ4TDPCRL/unsplash-image-m-82PNzgFq4.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61648b59c25f8275636e5758/ecc29e76-85f3-4277-9292-6ee7311a916d/christian-bowen-Cc10IJDoj78-unsplash.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61648b59c25f8275636e5758/563a9fe5-cb98-40c3-8e01-8f0b566244ee/the-climate-reality-project-Hb6uWq0i4MI-unsplash.jpg Home https://colibricounselingconsulting.com/resources daily 0.75 2025-09-02 https://colibricounselingconsulting.com/therapist daily 0.75 2026-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61648b59c25f8275636e5758/1635966783509-A2LOYHENA7Z95AK7H6QM/unsplash-image-dk9Ie4EQTyc.jpg Your Therapist Colibri Meaning Colibri means "hummingbird" in Latin, Spanish, and French. The hummingbird symbolizes joy, meaning, health, and presence. With wings that flutter rapidly—almost as if they exist on another plane—they carry a spiritual allure. Some believe that seeing a hummingbird is a sign from the other side, a message from a loved one who has passed. These wonderful, awe-inspiring creatures teach us to be mindful and live in the moment. The hummingbird was chosen as both the name and logo of Colibri for these reasons, but also because it was the favorite bird of Christina’s late grandmother. As a social worker, she embodied the nurturing and vibrant spirit of the hummingbird in all she did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61648b59c25f8275636e5758/d30203fd-7704-4558-a205-789d751f5c8f/CM_202211.jpg Your Therapist Your Provider: Christina McKelvy, MC, LPC, NCC, CCHMC Founder/Owner of Colibri Counseling & Consulting, PLLC Christina McKelvy is the founder and owner of Colibri Counseling & Consulting, PLLC.
