Christy Newsham

Hello! My name is Christy and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), as well as a Certified School Counselor, who is passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults tackle the challenges that can come with anxiety, ADHD, depression, and more. I know firsthand how these diagnoses can make both children and adults feel that they are trying to move through a world that doesn't feel built for their success. I also know that through a collaborative partnership with an affirming therapist, you or your child can feel empowered and confident in knowing you have to tools to conquer those obstacles. Congratulations on taking that first step towards achieving your goals!

My approach to my work with clients is to create a collaborative partnership built upon a trusting relationships in an environment free of judgement. In our work together, I will utilize client centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches. I truly believe that this joint focus on setting goals based on your or your child's needs, building upon strengths, and continuing to grow coping tools will lead to both deeper understanding and lasting change.

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and affirming environment where we will spend time getting to know you, or your child. This first session allows me to understand an individual's story, and to begin to form the trusting relationship that will guide our partnership. It will also set the stage for our future work together as we identify goals and create a shared vision for how to meet them. It is my hope that you will reach out so that we can begin this sometimes challenging, but also deeply rewarding journey.
