“I have been seeing Christie with my husband for a few months. It has helped us navigate our relationship to be better listeners and most importantly, she has given us some advice and help on how to handle our issues. We have been married for 28 years and there is always room for improving our marriage and ourselves. I have always felt relaxed and our feelings have never been pinned against each other during therapy. She has made it a safe and comfortable space for us to improve. It is definitely the reset that we both needed.”

“Christie gives great advice. And is the best listener. Is compassionate. I always feel good when I leave.”

“I have seen different people over the years to deal with actions, that come from issues from childhood to young adulthood. All came to the same diagnosis, with no solutions or practices to deal with my problems. Then about a year ago after reading a post from a friend, I was introduced to Christie. I decided to reach out and my wife and I started going to sessions together. On our first visit she was the first to give me practices and solutions to better handle my issues. As with my many hours of working to provide for my family over the years and not as much family time as should be, children get older and off to start careers or college. Christie has been working with my wife and I on what the next chapter in our life is and how to successfully navigate it.”

“I didn’t know it then, but at a young age I was born into a family of generational trauma. I met Christie Oda for the first time when I was 12 years old, thirteen days after my father died unexpectedly and tragically. My middle school recommended that I speak to her and my answer was simple – ‘no.’

Little did I know, because of her, my life would change forever and so would the life of those around me. She has served as a blessing, a mentor, a friend, and more importantly, has been the healer I know for a fact now, that I truly needed.

 Most people, all my life, have believed I had it all … and had it all together. Honor roll, popularity amongst peers, scholarship recipient, salutatorian, president of clubs, involved in athletics … you name it and that was me. Little did people know I struggled heavily with depression, anxiety, self-worth images, and even at time suicidal thoughts. Christie gave me an advantage in life I never knew I needed; the ability to heal myself from things I did not know were wrong. When I say that, I mean that because of Christie I was able to understand why those around me often made the choices they did. I was able to understand why certain things triggered me, upset me, and caused a reaction I did not want to have. As stated earlier, I originally met with Christie because my father passing caused a lot of depression. However, as she helped me heal from that and time passed, we began looking into different areas of my life that were also playing a large role in making me struggle with my mental health battles.

It is important to note that growing up, I was surrounded by addiction, abuse, poor relationships, and people with toxic mindsets. I made a choice as a young lady that that would not be my life. I have now used the love and advice from Christie to help those who mean the most to me heal themselves. I do not believe many of my family members were/are “bad people” – I think they are good people with bad habits and choices due to years of hurt they are unsure how to heal from.  

Not that I am invincible today but, I do think that I am able to tackle anything ahead. I can have healthy relationships, strong boundaries and even distance myself from loved ones when needed because of the mental tools Christie provided me with. These skills have allowed me to be a successful business woman, loving mother, supportive spouse, kind and caring friend, and compassionate member of our community.

It is never too late or too early to change your life. It is never too late or too early to no longer be a prisoner to your own mind. Often, we do not realize how much something is holding us back, until we feel the freedom that comes with breaking free. The greatest gift you can give yourself and give to those that you love, is to heal from the inside out. You must want to do and be better but, from the bottom of my heart, I cannot explain how much I recommend using Christie Oda as a tool to get you where you want and need to be.

It has been over a decade now since we met. My life, goals, needs and struggles have changed. Christie is not a “one size fits all.” She has the special ability to offer services to young children, teens, young adults, older adults and even the elderly all while tailoring to your specific needs. She is understanding, confidential, judgment free and one of the greatest listeners you will ever meet.

‘If you never heal from what hurt you, you will bleed on those who did not cut you.’”
