Getting to know Christie Debruce

Hi there, I'm Christie! I just love to see people who feel down, get back up and soar to higher heights. Life transitions and unexpected downturns, are a difficult part of living. However, you can overcome them through positive thinking, healthy behaviors, and resilience. My focus My ideal client is one that is willing to cry, laugh and talk about the hard truths. I am looking for a client willing to be honest with themselves and myself to create positive change and healing. My approach My approach to treatment is allowing you to have a voice. I actively listen to your concerns and challenges in order to process what has happened in your life. Afterwards, we will discuss goals, so that you can meet your own needs and desires, through positive change. Finding solutions to problems is what I like most. My communication style My communication style is one where I allow you to talk freely. I also ask the hard questions. I am hoping that you are open to the Socratic and reflective questioning that I use. The tone of therapy with me, is one of trying to discover the truth, in all the chaos. My journey to mental healthcare When I was a child, I didn't know what a social worker was, but I asked everybody questions all the time. I just wanted to fully understand. I feel like being a therapist is second nature to me, because it falls in line with what I naturally do. I didn't know I would end up here on Rula, but I knew that I would be helping others to become better. My goals for you I help patients reach their goals by asking them about the simple things that bring them happiness. Some people live on autopilot or by habit and forget to find their true happiness. We will dig into that. Our first session A first session with me, is a mixture of administrative items and deep emotion. During that first session, the client will release what they have been holding in for a while. I also set the rules of therapy and go over intake information.
