I am an LCSW in Georgia (CSW009909) and LICSW in Alabama (6757C) providing therapy for PTSD in a cozy office in downtown Savannah, Georgia, or via telehealth.

If you have watched yourself and your life become unrecognizable in the aftermath of a traumatic event that left you plagued by anxiety and shame, I would be honored to walk alongside you to find a hopeful path forward.

I am trained in and utilize both Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to treat PTSD. I work collaboratively with clients during the intake process to identify which of these treatment modalities is most suitable for their treatment.

You might be carrying anger, worry, or sadness that's been building for a long time and you're not sure where to put it anymore. I work with kids, teens, adults, and seniors who are navigating anxiety, depression, anger, bipolar disorder, or substance use, and who are ready to stop managing it alone. I've spent time in outpatient, residential, crisis, and correctional settings, so I've sat with people at some of their hardest moments and I don't rattle easily. My goal in every session is for you to feel heard and respected from the very first conversation.

Therapist

You may already know why you overfunction, people-please, silence yourself, or keep repeating patterns in relationships that leave you drained. Insight matters, but it is not the finish line. I help people turn what they know into boundaries, emotional self-trust, and choices that reflect the life they are ready to lead.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, a nationally certified counselor, a former adjunct psychology instructor in higher education, and the founder of Mental Health Monarchs. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health, including 6 years as a therapist, I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, emotional neglect, family dysfunction, identity concerns, and toxic relationship patterns.

My style is intuitive, culturally grounded, curious, and compassion-forward. We’ll explore what is underneath your patterns without making therapy feel stiff or overly clinical. We can leave the work voice outside. I’m not code-switching with you. Cool?

This space is best suited for people who are ready for honest reflection and willing to begin using new tools in real time, in real life. I give homework.

Christle Reddix

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and young people navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Many of the teens and families I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, defiance, low self-esteem, school stress, peer conflict, family tension, and difficulty managing big emotions. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.

If you are curious about what virtual therapy with me actually looks like, here is what you can expect:

  • I am an active participant: Therapy with me is a two-way street. I provide feedback, teach concrete skills, and actively help you problem-solve.
  • I focus on the practical: While understanding your past is important, I place a heavy emphasis on what you can do today to feel better tomorrow. We will spend time learning and practicing actionable skills.
  • I value your comfort: I have over a decade of experience, but you are the expert on your own life. I will never push you to share more than you are ready to, and we will always move at a pace that feels safe for you.
  • I am committed to your growth: I am committed to your growth: By helping you recognize your own strengths and practice concrete coping tools, my goal is to ensure you feel fully equipped to move forward independently.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or self doubt that makes it hard to enjoy the things that once brought you joy. Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly waiting for things to get better. You don't have to navigate that journey alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and OCD so they can find greater emotional balance, regain confidence in themselves, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more fulfilling. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to create a supportive, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.
