"It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work; and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey."

If you are feeling frustrated, concerned, angry, or overwhelmed, call me. Let me help you , your family, and loved one find peace and harmony. Life doesn't have to be a struggle...let it be a journey of discovery, enlightenment and enrichment.

Mental health challenges or relationship problems, are experiences that can affect your ability to cope effectively. The joy of living a healthy life and maintaining healthy relationships, are very much achievable or attainable. The journey to get there consists of moments that are experienced through the support and guidance of psychotherapy. Participation in psychotherapy is a self-empowering decision and shows your willingness for change through growth.

I provide clients with real life tools and aid them in developing effective strategies to cope with life issues. I view therapy as a collaborative effort to understand problems and conflicts, identify realistic goals and take advantage of strengths and strategies that promote change. While the focus is often on current issues, understanding the influence of past experiences and relationships is an important part of the process. I motivate, encourage and support my clients to make choices that improve their lives, relationships and overall well being.

Feeling stuck in your relationships despite success elsewhere? As a big-vision individual, you're constantly evolving, yet overthinking keeps you from connecting. Sound familiar? Let's break free from this cycle together. Join me on a journey to unlock your potential and cultivate meaningful connections.

A challenging responsibility in life is to heal emotional wounds. Family crisis, divorce, losses, anxiety or having a child with emotional or intellectual barriers to be successful in life without finding the desired answer creates frustration and distress. Psychotherapy as an alternative isn't the easiest answer but could be insightful and resilient. Children with developmental difficulties, learning disabilities, autism or conduct disorders can benefit from a holistic approach that considers the healing of their emotional pain as resource for reaching developmental goals. I work with a collaborative approach. You will discover your own potential and solutions to your specific circumstance.

You look around and think to yourself, what happened? Each day you feel pulled further and further away from the life you thought was yours. Your morning thoughts go something like this: please let my child have a good day at school; who is this person sitting across the table from me and what happened to the one I said "I do" to? how am I ever going to get through this day? It is so tough to maintain strength, hope, and individuality when your family is in distress, your marriage feels like a failure, your teen is unrecognizable, or you're just completely out of energy. I get it! I'm here! Together we can figure this out.

Your decision to start the journey of healing is a tremendous act of love turned inward. In individual counseling, I provide support and encouragement as you rewrite your story and work toward creating the life you want. In the couples therapy process, partners learn to improve communication, build intimacy, and solve conflict in a respectful way. All of my sessions are trauma sensitive and will be a safe space for repair.

Your child or teen may be struggling with behaviors and emotions, or perhaps you are concerned about your own mental health and are ready to prioritize yourself. There is support! My family-focused approach helps you and your family thrive through play therapy, traditional talk therapy, parent support, couples work, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Counseling is a place to reflect on what we can control and consider new ways to improve our lives. With a background in school counseling, motherhood, and foster care & adoption, I am dedicated to positive child development and strengthening families! Free Consultations are available.

Child–Parent-Relationship Therapy (CPRT) is a 11-session parent training program designed to help strengthen the relationship between a parent and a child. Parents will be guided through the process by me, a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in child development, relational attachment, and play based interventions. Parents learn both by traditional in-session learning and by experiential recorded play sessions at home. Feedback, personalized resources, and support are provided throughout the process. They are taught basic play therapy skills and principles that they can feel confident implementing at home.

I assist clients dealing with addiction and the related co-occurring issues (anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD/ADD, stress, bipolar, schizo-affective, schizophrenic, etc.). All of my clients have experienced some type of trauma, PTSD, childhood emotional neglect, intergenerational family issues, spiritual emergency / psychosis, etc., and addiction has been the result. Clients who have been impacted are in my estimation actually highly sensitive people and highly spiritual people. I now offer an 11-Session Emotional Integration Training program that teaches you to manage your emotions in a skillful way putting the tools in your hands.

Welcome! My name is Colleen Christie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas. With 29 years of experience, my primary focus of my practice is relationship issues including break-ups, divorce, couples therapy, toxic relationships and even "lack of relationship" issues.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” - Psalm 147:3 “I’ve always found the serenity prayer encouraging: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference…” I pursued counseling as a profession because I believe people can be equipped with the tools they need to process their pain, the courage needed to adjust their sails to the winds, and wisdom to confidently navigate the storms of life.”
