Christie Earnheart

My name is Christie Earnheart. I have a M.Ed in clinical mental health counseling from Lamar University in Beaumont, TX. I also received my bachelor’s degree in family and consumer sciences, emphasis in nutrition and wellness from Lamar University. My previous years of experience as an educator has equipped me with a deep understanding of behavioral health and the challenges that both individuals and families face. I have always been compassionate in nature and working in the field of education is what led me to my passion for counseling.

I work with ages thirteen and up and counsel individuals, families, and couples. I am committed to the concept of collective healing and well-being of individuals, families, and communities through sourcing from the latest
research and strategies from therapeutic modalities inclusive of but not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and various person-centered therapies. I believe in integrating treatment modalities to individually tailor treatment to a client’s unique needs. My goal is to educate and empower clients on how to find their strengths, and to foster resilience while facilitating a transformative, healing
experience.

I strive for an alliance with my clients that is collaborative in nature. I believe that building therapeutic relationships that are non-judgemental, authentic, and empathetic will create an environment where clients can experience safety and trust. Wellness occurs when we have the ability to meet our needs, when we have learned to become resilient in many
situations, when we have developed healthy thought patterns, and when we learn to make choices that lead to positive life experiences. Understanding that every client is unique, it is my goal to partner with clients to facilitate this journey of wellness, hope, and healing.

As a licensed professional counselor associate, I look forward to continuing to work with various diverse populations. My training has prepared me with vast skills training in multicultural environments. I intentionally seek to increase the client’s skills base to assist them in overcoming their presenting problems. I help my clients with building healthy coping mechanisms to manage issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief / loss, relationship problems, and anger.
