Hi, my name is Christy Tackwell and I work with adults, teens and children in my private practice. I would say that I am eclectic and use both traditional and alternative forms of therapy such as Art Therapy and EMDR. I believe in a good working relationship in order to build trust so that the client is comfortable. The client is accepted for who they are and where they are. I believe in creating a safe and confidential environment so that the person can move at their own pace towards their therapy goals. Identifying issues and possible solutions is very important.

These issues include depression, mood disorder, anxiety, trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, adjustments to life upsets and changes as well as loss and grief. I use traditional counseling and art therapy. I enjoy working with personal symbols. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Licensed Professional Art Therapist. "Talk" therapy is but one modality in a broad spectrum of techniques. Art Therapy not only uses verbal expression, but visual expression in order to unfold stories and assist clients on their journey of self awareness.
