About
UPDATE: My individual sessions and groups are currently full. I offer recorded meditations and written articles as ways to offer support to more people. Visit my website to get those links. I am licensed as a Professional Counselor in both Mississippi 2424 and Tennessee 3670. I am also registered as an Out-of-State Telehealth Provider for the State of Florida, FL TMPC 2146
You’ll have the benefit of my extensive training and experience both professionally and as a human being. In the counselor role, I have helped thousands of clients through deep listening, empathy, education, and the use of a variety of experiential tools such as Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems therapy, and mindfulness training.
Your courage to take action to explore my profile is just the beginning. You will find that as you continue to take action on your own behalf - with support - a nice momentum will develop. It won't always feel so difficult. Take the next step now. Send a message if one of my available groups speak to you right now.

Christie Bates's Groups
A Year to (Really) Live
We are now accepting new registrations for the 2021-2022 Year to Really Live group! See description of class and package at passaticounseling.com
In Process (Women's Process Group)
In Process, women in MS and TN create a place to share themselves and their lives - to their own level of willingness - in a safe community. Process includes speaking and listening with the mind and heart - to ourselves, our bodies, and each other. It includes opportunities to get creative, to share tears and laughter. Groups meet 1st & 3rd Thursdays for $75 each, committing to 8 session at a time. If you're not already in therapy with me, an assessment ($150) is required to make sure this group is a good fit for where you are in your own process.
