Christie DeBruce

My therapeutic style is to ask a lot of questions and really try to find the answers to what is bothering you. In our sessions, you will cry, laugh, talk excessively or talk a little. Our sessions will be all about you and what you need in the moment. I want our sessions to be a safe place for you to be comfortable. Bring your treats and your tissues. Bring your patience and your strength. We will be together and I will support you when you are feeling weak. Usually, I see what makes you special first. You will need to tell me what is wrong.

I approach therapy as a learning space. You will learn about yourself as we speak. I also love to teach coping skills for various symptoms such as anxiety, depression and anger. During our sessions, I will most often use modalities such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy. I also want to work on finding solutions and will help you set goals for your own well-being.

During our first session, we will talk about the rules of therapy. Also, we will review your background information, your measures and jump right into talking.
