Brittney Christie, M.S., LMFT

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, with over 2 decades of experience providing counseling and support to individuals, couples, and families all over Orange County and throughout California (via telehealth). I have been working in private practive for the past 10 years (in Laguna Hills now, formerly in Costa Mesa). Previously, I worked in community mental health clinics, specializing in treating individuals in crisis, victims of domestic violence, trauma survivors, and supporting teens in foster care. I specialize in treating PTSD, phobias, anxieties (general, social, or sports performance), depression, low self-esteem, chronic self-doubt, codependecy, anxious-attachment tendencies, and relationship distress. I am also dedicated to continue my education and training, and continue to develop and refine my skillset to become versed in the most up-to-date approaches to the art of healing. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, Sandtray, Trauma-Informed Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and the Gottman Relationship Method. My goal is to help you feel regulated, provide a safe enviornment to help you find relief from symptoms and begin feeling like you are truly living and enjoying your life. Personally, I have lived through challenging life circumstances, overcome my own traumatic experiences, experienced loss, marriage, divorce, and am currently in the throes of motherhood as we speak. In my free time, I enjoy adventuring with my kids on the trails, hiking, mountain biking, and being outdoors. I enjoy folk, indie, and alternative music. I also love to create art with different mediums and get lost in fantasy fiction. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you reach your goals!
