Welcome! I am Christy Besett, a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping adults navigate through depression, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges. My approach focuses on practical solutions, effective strategies, and skill-building to help you find stability early in the process. Once we've built a strong therapeutic connection, we can delve deeper into the root causes - such as negative beliefs, past experiences, and unresolved memories - that may be keeping you feeling stuck.
I am advanced trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), basic trained in EMDR, and use a trauma-informed lens. I offer a strategic and collaborative space where your healing and progress are prioritized. In our initial sessions, we will work together to understand your experiences and establish a path forward.
I am passionate about this work because witnessing my clients' growth and transformation is incredibly rewarding. Let's work together to help you experience meaningful change, finding empowerment, build resilience, and improve your quality of life.

I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, and trauma informed approaches to help clients heal and move forward. These evidence-based methods gently reprocess distressing memories and reduce emotional intensity without requiring you to relive the details. Clients often leave sessions feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control. Together, we'll create a safe space for lasting change.
