I'm Christie Chu, and I want you to feel your best. Do you feel anxious, irritable, and tired? I help individuals with mood symptoms learn skill to manage their energy, especially overstressed women and men, and those going through midlife changes.

I also work with individuals dealing with relational violence and verbal abuse. I have experience with infertility issues, multiple births, post partum depression/anxiety, and low self confidence. I have experience with HIV and support those with gender identity differences. If you have children with problems at school, I have worked in special education and have pupil personnel services credential as well. I pride myself on active listening, and changing negative thinking patterns that interfere with change. I utilize cognitive behavioral techniques, centering, as well as reality testing and goal setting. I use visualization and humor to make sessions more engaging.

First session

In our first session, we will introduce ourselves, and I will ask you to share what issues you have been experiencing. We will work together to begin crafting a plan of care based on changes you would like to see. We can change and update goals as progress is made or new issues arise. I hope to put all clients at ease and encourage them to advocate for themselves!

Strengths

My biggest strengths are years of experience with a variety of patients and many personal experiences with trauma and loss. I believe that every experience and choice helps us learn and grow, and believe everyone who wants to change can.

Ideal clients

Relational problems, anxiety and depression, infertility, Bipolar disorder, parenting, and educational issues.
