Chrissy Skane – Accepting new clients
Meet Chrissy (she/her) – Therapist Intern
I’ve always been drawn to helping others, and my fascination with psychology started early. I believe our environment and experiences shape us, and sometimes life’s challenges can feel overwhelming. That’s why I became a therapist – to create a safe space for individuals to explore their inner world, reflect on their experiences, and embark on a journey of growth and healing.
My own journey with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease has deeply instilled in me the importance of empathy, validation, and compassion. I understand the unique challenges faced by those with chronic and invisible illnesses. The road to healing can be complex, and I feel honored to walk alongside my clients, offering support and guidance every step of the way.
My Approach
I believe in a holistic and trauma-informed approach that honors each individual’s unique needs and experiences. My therapeutic style integrates:
- Person-Centered Therapy: Creating a warm and accepting environment where you feel heard and understood.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Providing practical tools to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
- Mindfulness-Based Techniques: Cultivating present-moment awareness to reduce stress, manage emotions, and increase self-awareness.
My goal is to empower you with evidence-based strategies and foster resilience so you can navigate life’s challenges with confidence and create a life that aligns with your values.
Areas of Focus
I specialize in working with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Chronic Illness
- ADHD
- Women’s Issues (including postpartum support)
- Blended Families
- Life Transitions
- End-of-Life Issues
- Grief and Bereavement
- Ageism
Who I Work With
I welcome clients of all ages, from children (5+) to teenagers, adults, and elders. I offer individual therapy, as well as couples and family counseling.
Three words that describe me best
- Empathetic: I strive to deeply understand your experiences and perspectives.
- Open-mindedness: I approach each client with curiosity and without judgment.
- Calmness: I provide a safe and grounded space for exploration and healing.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Contact me today to schedule a consultation.
