Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Lawrenceville, GA


I was born and raised in one of Nigeria’s vibrant and bustling cities, where I learned the values of community, resilience, and compassion from an early age. Inspired by a deep desire to make a difference in people’s lives, I pursued my education in health care. This journey has been a blessing and a privilege, allowing me to work in health care and provide care for the people I love and serve.

My family and I have built a home filled with love and laughter. They bring joy and inspiration to my life every day. I'm excited to support my clients in bringing that same love and joy and laughter back into their own lives.

Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I think that when we're able to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are mirrors of our meanings and experiences, we're able to explore a bit deeper for what drives us and what we want to do with that information.

Hello, I'm glad you're here! Are you exhausted from living in a constant state of 'what if' and anxiety? Do you struggle making the 'right' decision, or do you think through every possible thing that can go wrong? As a board-certified psychotherapist and former Clinical Director, I have spent the last 20 years treating fear, trauma, relationship struggles and depression. My true passion, however, is helping individuals overcome worry and fear, and learn to handle the discomfort of the unknown.

Therapist

I help people of all ages- children, teens, and adults - who are survivors of complex trauma and PTSD. I am passionate about empowering survivors to loosen the chains of trauma and move forward. I use EMDR, DBT, CPT and play therapy to help clients to overcome the inner pain of trauma and build a life that is safer and more grounded. I enjoy helping children through the use of Child Centered Play Therapy and Playful EMDR to support children through challenges like self-esteem, bullying and other school- related problems. With 25 years spent as an educator, I have stood in those hallways and know what kids face. Additionally, I enjoy working with parents to navigate the everyday challenges that arise in parenting in this digital age. I enjoy walking with adolescents and teens who struggle just to get up and go to school each day because I remember what that felt like when I was a teenager. I also enjoy walking with students who self -harm, struggle with suicide ideology, bullying, and navigating peer and parental relationships. I consider it an honor to walk along with Trauma Survivors as a certified Traumatologist. I have supported people in healing from sexual assault, traumatic accidents, profound grief, and many other life-altering events. I feel deeply honored to care for firefighters, police officers, and first responders impacted by they have seen on the job. I offer Animal Assisted Therapy with her French Bulldog, Zoey, who is especially comforting to all of the clients that I see.
