Christy Metzger

I'm a Master's-level clinical social worker with 17 years of experience working alongside children, teens, and adults through some of life's hardest chapters: grief and loss, end-of-life transitions, chronic illness and physical health challenges, PTSD, family conflict, anxiety, and the moments that leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, and to help you build the strength to move forward.

Each person I work with brings a different story, set of strengths, and set of goals, so I shape my approach around those factors. For couples and families, I draw on the Gottman Method; for individual work, I lean on attachment-based and strengths-based frameworks and motivational interviewing to help you find your own path forward. What clients notice first is that sessions feel practical, not just reflective. We work on real strategies you can carry with you.

In our first session, we start with what is most pressing for you, at whatever pace feels comfortable. You do not need to have it all figured out. I will ask questions, listen carefully, and share what I notice. Most clients leave the first session feeling some relief that they have started. My goal over time is that you feel more grounded, more capable, and more like yourself.

My approach to counseling is collaborative and individualized. I recognize that every person's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique, and I work alongside each client to develop a therapeutic relationship and approach that best fits their needs. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, you do not have to navigate it alone.

My goal is to help you gain insight, build upon your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and move toward a greater sense of balance and well-being. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and personal growth.
