Kayla Christie, LISW
About me
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I have five years of clinical and work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, life changes and stressors, and addictions.
My therapy style is warm. welcoming, affirming, and nurturing. I believe in treating people with kindness, compassion, sensitivity, and I don't wish to use stigmatizing labels. My approach is considered eclectic, using EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic, I-FAST (Internal Family and Systems Treatment), and motivational interviewing.
Therapy is a huge step to overall wellbeing in your life and I can't wait to meet you to help making overall wellbeing a reality for you!
