Hello! My name is Christi Bell. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I'm looking forward to working with you! I believe that the best therapy happens in partnership between the therapist and the client. My focus of clinical practice is working with teenagers and adults in the LGBTQIA2S+ community and survivors of trauma. I look forward to getting to know you better! I enjoy working with adolescents and adults up to age 50 who have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, body dysmorphia, and PTSD. I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and survivors of trauma.
I believe in the power of stories to help us make sense of and make meaning in our lives. I use a combination of approaches that include narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral, and acceptance and commitment therapies. I also use the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) to help heal trauma and to find new meaning in client's lived experiences.
It is very important that my clients feel heard and seen. I work to co-create emotional safety in the therapeutic environment and no topic is off limits. I am gently direct, kind, and strengths based. It takes courage to go to therapy and I work to honor that courage in all of my kindness through respect, care, compassion, and empathy.
