I believe that throughout our lifetime each of us is called to discover and integrate who we truly are. We’re called to uncover our true nature(s) beneath the debris of trauma and old conditioning. We’re called to set ourselves free. This process of integration is central to long-lasting wellness because it is precisely from this place that we’re able to participate fully in our lives and our relationships. Through the process of integration, we get to discover parts we have forgotten, we get to grow a capable inner parent and we get to connect with and heal our inner child.

Individuals feel disconnected from their loved ones, their work and, most importantly, themselves when they experience trauma or abnormally high amounts of stress. They become anxious easily, they can be irritable, and they can relive traumatic events that can lead to life feeling completely unmanageable. Additionally, couples and families become 'stuck' when trauma , conflict, and other negative dynamics get in the way of vulnerability, communication, and the love that we crave from those close to us. Those caught in these painful patterns need support and the therapeutic process can be transformative.

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.

Life can be a joyful experience, yet it presents us with difficulties such as a loss, trauma , relationship challenges and general emotional pain. These events can lead us to feeling overwhelmed, anxious and depressed impacting our ability to reach our full potential. I focus on creating a positive and supportive environment for my clients, so that individuals have a safe place to grow and change. If you are considering asking for help at this point in your personal journey, congratulations, as it truly takes courage to face our own unique challenges.

I work mostly with adolescents aged 14+ as well as adults up to age 50. Much of what clients are looking for in counseling is a safe space where they can explore and process their trauma that has led to PTSD , depression, anxiety, or other disorders. The common goal tends to be symptom management and/or relief for most adults. For teens it can be important to have an adult outside of the home and outside of school who can listen empathically and objectively to what they’re experiencing, help with techniques in emotional regulation, and offer a safe space to discuss fears. With client-centered therapy a lot of this can be possible.

Perhaps you feel empty, trapped, or lost. Perhaps you can identify the source of this pain, such as a past trauma or a recent loss, or perhaps you cannot and feel that you “should” be happier. Friends and family may have given you well-intentioned but ultimately unhelpful advice: “Just be positive! Just get over it! Be grateful!” Unable to make use of this feedback, you may feel even more isolated, alienated, and misunderstood. You sense that a new, more joyful life could be possible… but somehow it always feels just out of reach. Maybe you are close to giving up altogether and feel resigned to a life of suffering.

Are you suffering from self-limiting beliefs based on unhappy experiences in the past? Has a childhood rejection led you feeling as if your presence is an imposition to those around you? Do you only share ideas when directly asked? Have you been wondering why you have been repeating the same dysfunctional patterns over and over in life? Has it puzzled you why some places/people/situations… trigger you in the same way and you have no idea where it came from? You are not alone! Millions of people worldwide suffer from minor and major traumas that are still affecting their day to day lives without knowing!

I am very respectful of each person's uniqueness. I am quite open and do not have an agenda with clients.

What we think, we become. The more you think and say to yourself one thing, the more you start believing it and then ultimately start acting on it. It can be challenging work, but there are ways we can make this idea work for ourselves. Trained in EMDR.
