Christi Bell

My communication style

It's very important that my clients feel heard and seen. I work to co-create emotional safety in the therapeutic environment, and no topic is off limits. I am gentle, direct, kind, and strengths-based. It takes courage to go to therapy, and I work to honor that courage through respect, care, compassion, and empathy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've wanted to be a therapist since elementary school. It's always been important to me to choose a career of service to people, to help support them through challenges, celebrate victories, and hold hope when they worry it may be lost. I believe we all can heal and build the life of our dreams already inside of us.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative effort. You are the expert in your life, and it's important that you feel the goals you set in therapy will help you build your best life. Goals that have meaning to you are more likely to be achieved. Goals can be reviewed, changed, discarded, or created at any time.

Our first session

I want to have a conversation with you and get to know you better. I also want to ensure you have time to get to know me and what you can expect while working with me. Learning about you, your dreams, your challenges, and your desired outcome will all be part of our first conversation.
