Christy joined Career Development Partners in 2022 as a consultant focusing strategically on the area of Mental Health. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma and previously Licensed Addictions Counselor in Colorado, Christy brings a breadth and depth of mental health diagnosis and treatment. Her specialty over the past 10 years has been cognitive behavioral therapy in anxiety, depression, burnout, and insomnia. Christy has a wide range of experience in working with clientele from a diverse social and economic background. She began her career as a therapist at an Intervention Community Corrections Services facility where she worked with individuals and groups using assessments, substance abuse evaluations, crisis interventions, and safety planning. She continued her career as a therapist at one of the largest private nonprofits in Denver, providing treatment and crisis services to over 70,000 children, families, and adults. Before moving back to her hometown in OK, Christy served as a Director of Client Services at a teen crisis center providing training on all lay counseling volunteers. In her last role, she took up the responsibility of becoming an oil and gas human resources manager, her toughest job yet. In addition to her work in private practice, with the drastic changes over the past 2 years, Christy sees a tremendous need and passion for serving professionals and organizations in incorporating mental health treatment and policies.
