Chrissy Wilson, LMFT
My approach is relational and shaped entirely around you because the most meaningful healing is never generic. It moves at your pace, honors your story, and trusts in your capacity to grow.
"May you recognize in your life the presence, power, and light of your soul."
-John O'Donohue
ABOUT CHRISSY
I spent much of my adult life living in different parts of the country and world, continually building community and connection wherever life led. Those experiences deeply shaped the way I understand people, relationships, resilience, and change. I carry that sense of shared humanity, attunement to systemic equality, and belonging into my work, creating a space where people feel seen, supported, and gently invited back to themselves. With warmth, curiosity, and compassion, I work with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate healing, growth, and deeper connection with themselves and others. My hope is that you leave feeling more connected to yourself and the people you love, with greater trust in your inner wisdom and the innate beauty already within you.
Education, Certifications & Professional Experience
My approach is relational, trauma‑informed, and grounded in family systems. I pay close attention to how early attachment, trauma, and systemic forces shape our nervous systems, relationships, and sense of self through a psychodynamic lens.
