Christina Velasco

DIRECTOR OF SURVIVOR SERVICES

Hey! I’m Christina - the Director of Survivor Services of Cor-a. I am honored to be a part of this organization that advocates for and empowers survivors of sexual abuse and trauma.

I graduated from the University of South Florida with a bachelor’s degree in behavioral healthcare with a concentration in children’s mental health, and a master’s degree in social work. I hold LMSW licensure in Texas, and I’m actively working towards LCSW eligibility in the state of Florida. With this background, I am able to apply my education as well as my personal experience; as a survivor myself, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to reach out for help. In 2022, I proudly spoke at a Tedx event where I shared my story along with psychoeducation that can help empower communities like ours. With Cor-a, finding support will feel safe as we take care of the necessities that survivors are deserving of.
