Meet Christie

A Place For What Hurts

I am a counselor, a former teacher, a mother and a grandmother. In our sessions there is space for what hurts, for the questions you have not said out loud and for hope to grow again. If your Christian faith is important to you, it is welcome here. If it is not, I will never push it.

“She is wonderful, warm, understanding and helps me to understand where I am. I feel hopeful again.”

What People Are Saying

  • 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.

  • ...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!

  • I highly recommend Christie...

    I highly recommend Christie to anyone who is looking for a fantastic counselor! Christie has so much passion in helping others, I truly believe I would not be where I am today without her. She really helped me search for the deeper roots to my problems. I know if Christie can help me, she can help you too! Ten out of five stars (yes, she is seriously that good)! Don't miss out on your chance to talk to the absolute best in town!
