Christie is an amazing therapist!
Christie McDermott is an amazing therapist! At a very low time of my life she talked me through a lot of issues I was having and helped me find a better path. It's been a year since our first meeting and I am doing so much better now. It's been nice to have someone to talk to and help me become a more confident and stronger person.
Client, WA
...I'm so thankful!
She seems to understand right where I am and gives me so much of a greater insight to reassure I'm not crazy for feeling what I have been feeling. I'm so thankful!
