Getting to know Christy Austin
Hello! Since 2009, I've been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio specializing in helping people manage their moods effectively to meet their goals. I work with people of all ages, utilizing a unique approach to equip each client to thrive in life. I especially enjoy working with young adults. With specialties in Art Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I love to integrate a creative approach. My focus areas include Christian counseling, anxiety, depression, PTSD, women’s issues, trauma, grief, life transitions, and faith conflicts. I commonly work with children, adolescents, young adults, and women.
I earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Spring Arbor University, completing an internship at the University of Toledo Medical Center in Child Psychiatry Partial Hospitalization Program and outpatient units. I also worked alongside a team in Texas at an outpatient private practice specializing in children and adolescent issues.
My experience has allowed me to serve in the psychology field since 2001, when I began as an administrative assistant at a psychologist’s office. I completed graduate school in 2008 and have worked in several different areas, including private practice, inpatient, geriatrics, Partial Hospitalization, and Intensive Outpatient Programs, conducting both group and individual therapy. I have volunteered to facilitate group counseling for domestic violence victims and also led several faith-based CBT groups for emotional healing in the community.
Born in Michigan, I’ve lived in six different states in my adult life, residing in Ohio since 2019. In my downtime, you can catch me baking with family, writing at my favorite coffee shop, laughing with loved ones, listening to live music, walking in nature, or doing a Barre workout.

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.
