Self-Discovery, Healing, Transformation.

Individual Psychotherapy
I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with self-worth, anxiety, depression, and identity related issues. I offer in person and virtual sessions, my physical office is located in Burlington, VT.
Anxiety, depression and emotional distress are often stigmatized in Western culture as “being weak” and overly sensitive. These narratives are harmful and false. Internalizing these stories is common and can leave you feeling defeated and unseen. If you’re ready to feel better but unsure of what to do next, know that you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I believe healing happens when we’re able to safely explore the layers of who we are. My practice is grounded in culturally responsive, gender-affirming, and LGBTQ+ inclusive care. Clinically, I draw from several evidence-based approaches including narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), motivational interviewing (MI), and mindfulness. Together we will forge a path through the discomfort, building skills to support sustainable change along the way.
You Matter Therapy and Wellness is a queer-owned business that supports LGBTQ+ individuals and all communities experiencing discrimination — by offering affirming care, ongoing education, and advocating for equity and justice.
About Christa
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over fifteen years of experience in the social services field. I received my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Vermont in 2016 and earned my clinical license in 2019. Over the years, I’ve supported people through a wide range of challenges—emotionally, practically, and educationally—through case management, clinical work, trainings, educational workshops and group facilitation.
My approach is warm, adaptable, and collaborative. I bring authenticity, humor, and deep respect to the work we will do together. I believe that therapy should be a place where you feel seen, not judged—a space where you can breathe, explore, and grow.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just intuitively know that something needs to shift, I’m here to sit in it with you, as we figure it out.
