Christie Maether is a licensed mental health counselor (NY LMHC 007870) based in New York with 10 years of experience working in community mental health clinics and schools, supporting individuals from childhood through adulthood.

She focuses on working with young adults and women as they navigate adulthood, identity, relationships, and life transitions. Many of her clients are high-achieving and introspective, motivated to change but feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

Christie practices from a person-centered perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own life. Her role is to walk alongside clients as they explore what feels right, rather than to supply all the answers.

She also integrates aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are linked and how small, intentional shifts can lead to meaningful change.

Christie treats the whole person, acknowledging that challenges rarely come from a single source and are shaped by relationships, environment, beliefs, habits, and past experiences. Sometimes change involves more than shifting mindset – it can include setting boundaries, changing surroundings, or learning to accept what cannot be controlled.

Therapy with her aims to untangle these complexities, build clarity, and create a life that feels more aligned with who someone is and what they need.

She understands that life does not come with a roadmap and that people sometimes need space to gain perspective and reconnect with themselves. Those seeking a collaborative, supportive space to explore what comes next are welcome to work with her.
