Hi, I’m christina Walsh, lmsw, CAGCS
At Symmetry, I offer holistic health services for improved mental health, increased overall wellbeing, and support through life transitions with life & mindset Coaching to clients globally. Think of me as your Life Consultant. For diagnostic and clinical treatment of mental health disorders, I offer Counseling services as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering psychotherapy to those in the State of Michigan. Licensed in Michigan since 2016.
All sessions are virtual through video, email, phone or messenger.
I am also a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS) working with clients through the grief journey after many different types of loss. Grief comes as the result of many things; from death, living losses, life transitions, or healing trauma. Grief is not just a loss, sometimes it is the deep feelings of sadness from something we never had, or will never come to pass. I draw on my own experiences with living losses of relationships, houses, and friendships, experiences with life transitions resulting in loss of community, religion, and identity, or experiences with bereavement from the death of parents, family, friends, and pets.
Something that was repeated during my time in graduate school earning my masters degree and in clinical practice, was the idea that every person is their own expert. I believe this. We all have unique insight into self, and it is this idea that drives my practice with all clients. The answers are typically within us, we know what works for us, and our body sends us messages of what doesn’t. I am simply your guide to explore self without shame.
We will tour through acceptance and forgiveness so you can be real with yourself about what no longer serves you, then identify what barriers keep you stuck in the same patterns. Then you’ll identify your existing personal strengths and use those to support your change moves. Next is where the gift of a guide is most impactful because this is where most people stop in the change process, because here is where we actually do something different. Together we will set goals with objects of how to get there, and tasks to make it happen. Yes, change is difficult which is why you deserve help. I’ll guide you with compassion and support to have a clear picture of what you want life to look like, and help organize things with motivation and accountability to make it a reality.
To create lasting change, I’ll guide you through recognizing your values, what you’re truly about, and how you can live into these through behavior. My goal is for every client to live as their most authentic self, and love that person too. When our actions and lives align with our values and beliefs, the magic of self-esteem happens. When we know who we are, what we deserve and fearlessly set boundaries, the magic of worth happens. You are already worthy and able, come find direction and support to feel it and live it.
You know what’s not working, you know it’s your time for change, you know you’re deserving of better. You may simply be missing support and direction. Let me guide you through finding the solutions and strength already in you. COME FIND IT.
