About me

My passion in life is to sincerely help others heal and grow with kindness, understanding, respect, compassion and empathy. I want others to become the best possible versions of themselves and to live meaningful lives. I believe that meeting individuals where they are is imperative to their recovery. I have been involved in Community Mental Health since 2008. I received my first License to practice Social Work in Kentucky/West Virginia, in 2015. I have been practicing Social Work in Louisiana since 2018. I have worked with a variety of populations, but I am specialized and well versed in working with Trauma and Substance Abuse (dual diagnosis). Although there are many different treatment approaches, I prefer to use Person Centered Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I focus on making sure that each patient is treated with dignity and I acknowledge their value as an individual. I believe we were all designed for great things! There is Always Hope!

I started working in community mental health in 2008 and in 2019, I was named the Intensive Outpatient Hospital Program Director in Louisiana. I currently hold four Social Work/Community Mental Health Awards in both KY and LA.

My strengths as a Licensed Therapist include being Empathetic, Sympathetic, Observant, Creative, Logical, Animated, Patient and Non-Judgmental.

*I also have a background in Theological Seminary in regards to Social Work. Please feel free to reach out and ask questions about this part of my education.*

Christine Talley came into my life at the exact time I need her, she is a safe place and listens to me and guides me to where I want to be as a person, father, and husband. I feel better even in bad days knowing she is just a quick message away with calming words of wisdom and guidance.

Christine offers a safe space each session and throughout the week to have honest conversations. When it’s tough to know where to start she always helps me reflect and eases me into a dialogue.

Christine is the best! I came to her with unmanageable amounts of anxiety and she provided me with tactics and tips and a listening ear to help me deal with it.

Christine's knowledge on personality disorders is outstanding. She has helped me to understand what I have been struggling to understand for far too long. She is realistic yet optimistic. She explores the options present for dealing with my difficult relationship without any hint of steering me in one direction over the other. I feel like she is handing me tools for working with what I have so I can make decisions based on my values and what is best for me and my family.

Christine Talley is quick to get to the point and to really hear me out. Even helpful when navigating the Betterhelp website. She is helpful in sending me notes to help me review before our next meeting and is willing to look over my messages when I send them. I look forward to seeing how this will impact my life in a positive way as we move forward, and remember, to breath.
