Hi, my name is Christy Tackwell and I work with adults, teens and children in my private practice. I would say that I am eclectic and use both traditional and alternative forms of therapy such as Art Therapy and EMDR. I believe in a good working relationship in order to build trust so that the client is comfortable. The client is accepted for who they are and where they are. I believe in creating a safe and confidential environment so that the person can move at their own pace towards their therapy goals. Identifying issues and possible solutions is very important.

Therapy is a place where clients should feel comfortable and safe. It is for this reason that I will meet you where you are at, and I encourage my clients to move at a pace they are comfortable with. I have experience with working with a wide variety of populations, from children, to teens, to adult individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I practice person-centered therapy. I will listen to you with total presence and mindfulness from the first time meeting. I will connect with you where you are at the present moment and help you to walk your journey to a healthier you. I am also an eclectic therapist, which means I will draw on the tools that we decide are the most beneficial to your personal healing process. I look forward to working with you!

I can offer you a compassionate, encouraging therapeutic relationship with trust and dignity to help you move through it to a place of healing, wellness, self-esteem, motivation, peace and joy. Jon

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I obtained my B.A. in psychology from Southern Illinois University. My interest in male/female relationships led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University. But I don’t only work with families. Families are comprised of two individuals who were reared in his/her family of origin from which they developed their worldview and values. Two unique individuals come together, bringing their experiences with them into the relationship. These differences can result in conflict. My job is to help them see how the conflict arose and constructive ways to resolve

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons - to learn more about themselves, to have someone sit with them during difficult times, to process life events, to share without feeling judged. With all the crises, conflicts, disasters, and devastation happening in the world it’s hard not to feel broken. And that's without the personal dramas that play out in our lives. How do we learn to accept what is? How do we learn to change?

I offer services to women of all ages, and occasionally children, who have had trauma in their background and are seeking to find clarity in who they are now, and where they want to go from here. I offer expressive modalities in addition to talk therapy for an ease in releasing the past, increasing self esteem, and leading to a safer and more joyous future.

Are your reactions to stress and the people you love hard to manage? Do you relate to media postings and self-help books but don't know how to translate awareness into change? We all have “triggers” developed from experiences and develop adaptive modes of behavior that may not be effective or beneficial to our well being. Exaggerated reactions such as becoming numb, shut down or reactive, the need to fight, the experience of shame, the need for inaction or escape (avoidance), or the loss of our ability to communicate are typical responses to feeling triggered and can feel overwhelming and leave you feeling out of control.

Our brain/mind is a very complex organ. Its made up of a multitude of parts at a micro-level as well as on a macro-level. Our Ego is also made up of parts, some seemingly helpful, while others appear more detrimental. In essence our Ego functions to provide protection from dangers (some real but many are perceived). These parts developed from our early childhood relationships with our caregivers and expanded as we grow older, many times appearing to us as a dysfunction or issue. I would like to help you navigate and communicate with these parts and help bring harmony to your being.

You exist within cultures, systems, and contexts that impact your health, wellbeing, and sense of who you are. Gender inequality, incarceration, racial inequality, LGBTQ discrimination, medical bias, financial insecurity, housing insecurity, etc. impacts our ability to thrive. We experience trauma within these systems and are left believing it's our own fault. Our own weakness. Our own problem to deal with. You are not alone! Navigating an unjust society is exhausting and you want to do more than survive and "get by". You want to thrive and live with integrity knowing that you exist and have a right to live with dignity.
