I’ve been working with Christie Spahr for a while now, and she has consistently helped me see and feel the lighter side of life. She has a remarkable ability to help me realize that everything I need is already within me, and her guidance has shown me that I am more than capable of living a positive, healthy, and happy life. Her support has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for her presence in my journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Christie is such a pleasure to work with and to talk to. She has so much experience and wisdom to bring to the table. She is kind-hearted and very easy to talk to. I am so grateful to have met her and to call her my therapist. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to talk to!
I have been seeing Christie for a little over 2 years now and couldn't imagine having someone else as my therapist. In fact, I first started seeing Christie when she was with her previous employer prior to moving over to BetterHelp and followed her after the change so I wouldn't lose her. Haha. Christie is incredibly kind, very personable and our conversations during session come naturally, often feeling like you're talking to a friend that is a great listener that offers wisdom and advice. She is truly great at what she does and couldn't be happier to have Christie as my therapist.
I am so glad i found Christie. She's fully engaged and very easy to talk to. She offers support, insight and knowledge, yet provides enough space for me to come to my own conclusions and healing. Recommend her highly.
