Christen Bellace

My communication style

I believe in open, honest communication and creating a space where you feel safe to speak freely. I show up with empathy, curiosity, and calm presence. I'm direct but supportive, offering feedback that helps you understand yourself while respecting your pace. I bring good humor, knowing meaningful progress happens when we're real together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I struggled with addiction as a young adult and became a single mother. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed and uncertain. These challenges taught me resilience and the value of support. I bring a real-world perspective grounded in empathy and a deep belief that recovery and healing are possible.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a shared process where we identify goals that feel meaningful and personal. Whether you're healing from trauma, building healthier relationships, managing emotions, or feeling more connected to yourself, we'll create a plan that supports your growth. As you gain insight, your goals may shift.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your background, and what you're hoping to work on. There's no pressure to have it all figured out. It's normal to feel nervous. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment.
