depression, phobias, anxiety, counseling associatesIn today’s society it’s not uncommon to feel sad, overwhelmed, or lost from time to time. Many of us experience symptoms of depression and don’t realize it; it usually takes a loved one or friend to point out that something is amiss. The professionals at Counseling Associates understand and can assist you to overcome feelings associated with depression, the loss of a loved one, phobia, anxiety, trauma, and stress. When you experience these feelings for long periods of time without any understanding of why you may need someone to assist you in sorting through your emotions. We can help you cope with these feelings, strengthen your self esteem, and help you get your life back on track again. Counseling Associates has been offering assistance to adults, adolescents and children in coping with feelings for more than 23 years. We are available to you Monday through Thursday from 8 am to 9 pm, and most insurances are accepted. Give us a call at 270-686-7999 and schedule your appointment today. Don’t hide from your pain, let us help you face it and start living again.

With 26 years of social work experience, Christie has dedicated her career to improving the lives of children and families through compassionate, evidence-based care. She specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy (SFT), integrating these approaches to help children identify strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and build resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

Christie’s extensive background includes service in child protective services, targeted case management, and school-based therapeutic programs. These diverse experiences have given her a deep understanding of the systems that affect children’s well-being and the collaborative strategies needed to support lasting change.

Her clinical work focuses on helping children navigate emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties, fostering growth through empathy, structure, and skill development. Christie values collaboration with families, educators, and community partners to create supportive environments where children can thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Guided by her personal philosophy to “never waste a hurt,” Christie believes that every challenge presents an opportunity for healing and growth. Her mission is to help children and families transform hardship into hope, empowering them to turn their experiences into purpose and progress.

Counseling Associates of Owensboro is excited to share that our therapists will be gradually transitioning to in-office appointments. Telehealth will continue to be available for those who prefer that service.
In compliance with the “Healthy at Work” guidelines for the state of Kentucky, we will be implementing the following for in-office appointments:
-Once in the parking lot, clients will be asked to call the office at 270-686-7999 to let the office staff know you have arrived. You will be instructed on when to enter the building.
-We encourage everyone to wear a mask or face covering as they enter and exit the building.
-You will have the option to make payment and set up a future appointment before heading to the office of your therapist. This will allow you to exit the building immediately following your appointment.
-If you are ill or experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19, please contact our office to reschedule. We want everyone to care for both their physical and mental health!
Thank you for your patience as we continue to work together to provide safe and quality services to our clients!
