Getting to know Christie Chu

Hello, my name is Christie Chu. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California and a licensed professional counselor in Texas. I'm a mother of 11-year-old twins and have a great deal of life experience dealing with many of the issues my patients face. I earned my Master of Education (MEd) from the University of Houston, Victoria. My approach I use a client-centered approach along with cognitive behavioral techniques and intergenerational family approaches. I also use solution-focused approaches and reality testing when working with relational violence. I am accepting of all sexual orientations and identities and have worked with HIV-positive patients in the past. My focus I work with clients experiencing mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I also work with couples dealing with infertility, relational violence, child abuse, and LGBTQ issues. In addition, I work with school-related issues and am a credentialed school counselor. My communication style I use direct communication and strive to be completely honest with clients. I am supportive and understanding while working through challenging issues. My journey to therapy I have always been interested in psychology and come from a family that struggled with many issues, including divorce and some abuse. After receiving my bachelor's degree, I wanted to work with young children, so I pursued a master's degree focused on clinical counseling. After spending a great deal of time working in schools, I sought my credential in school counseling. I have also experienced infertility firsthand and am a mother of twins. My goals for you Goal-setting is done in collaboration with clients. You will identify what goals are important to you, and I will assist in making a plan to reach those goals. My first session with you My first session will include intake, assessment, and time to get to know each other, as well as to hear about the problem you're facing.
