Welcome, I am Christy Walters, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Indiana, and have been practicing 17 years. I specialize in working with children and families. I have experience working with Domestic Violence victims, Childhood trauma and substance abuse. Other areas I address are Adjustment disorders, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, trauma, loss/life changing transitions.
I believe that mental health is an important part of overall health and happiness. Each person has the ability to commit to and foster positive change in their lives. I always strive to work with each client as an individual, fostering their strengths and building healthy coping skills, insight, and empowering courage for change. I am passionate about women's health and issues. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.
I have extensive experience in working with families, children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced various forms of trauma, both acute and chronic, as well as grief and loss, stress and anxiety, as well as other behavioral health issues.
I’m passionate about supporting clients as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe everyone deserves to have someone by their side through both the highs and the lows.
I take a person-centered approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are and creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported—especially during vulnerable moments. I show up as my authentic self in sessions so that you can feel comfortable doing the same. My goal is that each time we meet, you leave feeling at least a little lighter—whether that comes from feeling heard, gaining insight, or simply having a space to release what you’ve been carrying.
With over 15 years of experience, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine compassion into my work. I’m known for being kind, approachable, and deeply committed to the therapeutic process.
I’m also a certified yoga instructor and enjoy incorporating mindfulness and grounding techniques into sessions when it feels helpful. I believe in the connection between mind and body and strive to support clients in feeling more balanced, present, and connected to themselves.
It’s truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and move forward.
Shaped by own life experiences, I became a social worker to help people navigate the uncertainties of life. We have all gone through transitions in life from career changes to family changes. It can be really hard to do that alone. After earning my degree in social work, I dedicated my career to roles helping adults, youth, and family systems. I understand how difficult it can be to go through a separation/divorce, family changes, job changes, growing into teen years and added stress - especially while also trying to manage the day to day life. Ive been there myself! My mission is to foster hope, stability, a listening ear, and skills you can walk away with.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana. I earned my masters degree in social work from the University of Louisville in 2013. I have over 13 years of professional social work experience in the mental health field as well as the school setting. I am dedicated to helping individuals, families, and children navigate life’s most difficult seasons. I have a dual background as both a licensed clinical
(LCSW) and School Social Worker (LSSW), which is a great asset for parents looking for help with school-related issues. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or the lasting effects of trauma, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard. I am currently accepting new clients for telehealth across Indiana.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my focus is helping adults and working professionals navigate high-stress environments, burnout, career demands, and significant life transitions. Juggling professional responsibilities alongside personal life often leaves little room to process stress effectively or reset. My goal is to provide a focused, practical space where you can step back, clarify your priorities, and develop sustainable strategies to regain balance and momentum in both your work and personal life.

I want you to know that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you reach out. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, identity, grief, and major life changes. I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology, and I focus on giving my clients practical skills they can actually use in everyday life. My goal is to help you feel more confident, capable, and in control of where your life is headed.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Fort Wayne
Finding family therapists in Fort Wayne starts with understanding what your family wants to address together. Family therapy can support parenting conflict, adolescent concerns, blended family dynamics, communication challenges across generations, and relationship strain at home. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family counseling, child and adolescent concerns, parenting support, or approaches that match your needs.
Fort Wayne has a steady network of therapists, and your best fit may depend on schedule, session format, and who needs to attend. Some families prefer in-person care when several people join from the same location, while virtual appointments can make it easier to include family members with different schedules or homes. Session attendance may vary by goal — a therapist may meet with the full family, specific family members, or one person at a time. Read therapist bios to understand their approach, availability, and how they structure family sessions before you book.
Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for family therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
