Getting to know Christie Chu

I'm Christie Chu, and I want you to feel your best. Do you feel anxious, irritable, and tired? I help individuals with mood symptoms learn skills to manage their energy, especially overstressed women and men and those going through midlife changes. I work with individuals both making lifestyle changes and those who want to take medication. It is your choice to choose what works best for you! I also work with individuals dealing with relational violence and verbal abuse. I have experience with infertility issues, multiple births, postpartum depression/anxiety, and low self-confidence. I support those with HIV and gender identity differences. If you have children with problems at school, I have worked in special education and hold a pupil personnel services credential as well. I pride myself on active listening and changing negative thinking patterns that interfere with change. I utilize cognitive behavioral techniques, centering, reality testing, and goal setting. I use visualization and humor to make sessions more engaging. I earned my Master's in Counselor Education from the University of Houston, Victoria.

What should a new client know about working with you?

During the first session, I will gather a history and assess needs. We will set goals together, and i will work with your financial needs to determine frequency of sessions. I strive to leave clients feeling like they know what to do next and have someone to turn too if needed.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
