Though I'm experienced in Prolonged Exposure Therapy, I don't feel comfortable offering that type of in depth and detailed approach through Telehealth.
Hi, I’m Christie Dooley, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’ve learned sometimes we must experience discomfort to meet growth. Beginning that journey can be a heavy step to take, but rest assured, I’m here to provide you with a safe, supportive space, where you're free to be yourself to gain the clarity you deserve and become the person you’re meant to be. My Master of Arts Degree in Psychology has allowed me the opportunities to work in the private practice sector and substance abuse treatment facilities, where I gained experience working with; Anxiety, Adjustment Disorders, Addiction, Communication Issues, Grief/Loss

I was trained by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to diagnose and treat addictive disorders and PTSD using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
Are you craving deeper connection—with yourself or others—but feel held back by trauma or shame? Maybe you've done the work, but relationships still feel confusing, overwhelming, or painful. This part—the rebuilding—is hard. But you're not broken, you're becoming. I help people heal their relationship with themselves and others. With years of experience treating people with trauma and addiction—including extensive PTSD training at the VA and nearly a decade of guiding those in 12-step recovery—I bring both clinical skill and deep compassion to this work.
