More about me:
Christie Tawari is a Master’s-level counselling student in her second year at Athabasca University, currently working under the supervision of Jennifer Grindon. As a student therapist, she brings a fresh, open-hearted curiosity to her work, paired with the care and attentiveness that comes from years of supporting others in vulnerable moments. Christie works with individuals (16+) using an integrative approach that blends relational and somatic therapy. She helps clients slow down, connect with their inner world, and create a sense of emotional safety so they can deepen their self-understanding. Trauma-informed at her core, she creates a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported—without pressure to be “fixed” or “figured out” right away. Christie is guided by a deep belief in our innate capacity to connect, and in the profound impact that relationships have on how we come to understand ourselves and the world around us. She is especially attuned to the wisdom the body carries, and supports clients in reconnecting with that inner knowing as part of the healing process.
Before beginning her Master’s degree, Christie had been involved in the mental health field since 2018, including many years as a crisis line responder supporting folks in significant distress. She is certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and has training in postpartum challenges, and Polyvagal Theory.
Outside of the therapy room, Christie is a mom, a lifelong learner, and someone deeply passionate about supporting new moms in navigating the joys and challenges of motherhood and postpartum life.
Christie is currently accepting new clients and offers affordable counselling for those facing financial barriers—a chance to access therapy in a supportive, down-to-earth way while working with a compassionate emerging therapist.
