CJ Backer

Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore. Whether you're navigating anxiety, identity shifts, relationship conflict, or spiritual concerns, therapy can be a space to slow down, reconnect, and make sense of your story. I work with adults, couples, and families who want to better understand themselves and improve how they relate to others. Using a collaborative, trauma-informed approach, I help clients explore the messages they’ve absorbed from early relationships, culture, or faith—and gently challenge what no longer fits. Together, we create space for insight, emotional healing, and lasting

I integrate modalities like CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy to support emotional regulation, strengthen communication, and develop deeper self-understanding. My clients often tell me they appreciate the space to be fully seen and heard—without pressure to perform or pretend.

Whether you're seeking healing, clarity, or a sense of direction, our work will center your values and your voice. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

My role is to function as a mirror and reflect back what I see/hear to work towards understanding and then alongside you put together the pieces of what is true within your experience and what is not.

To be seen and heard, moving towards confidence and the understanding of who I am.
