About me

My passion in life is to sincerely help others heal and grow with kindness, understanding, respect, compassion and empathy. I want others to become the best possible versions of themselves and to live meaningful lives. I believe that meeting individuals where they are is imperative to their recovery. I have been involved in Community Mental Health since 2008. I received my first License to practice Social Work in Kentucky/West Virginia, in 2015. I have been practicing Social Work in Louisiana since 2018. I have worked with a variety of populations, but I am specialized and well versed in working with Trauma and Substance Abuse (dual diagnosis). Although there are many different treatment approaches, I prefer to use Person Centered Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I focus on making sure that each patient is treated with dignity and I acknowledge their value as an individual. I believe we were all designed for great things! There is Always Hope!

I started working in community mental health in 2008 and in 2019, I was named the Intensive Outpatient Hospital Program Director in Louisiana. I currently hold four Social Work/Community Mental Health Awards in both KY and LA.

My strengths as a Licensed Therapist include being Empathetic, Sympathetic, Observant, Creative, Logical, Animated, Patient and Non-Judgmental.

*I also have a background in Theological Seminary in regards to Social Work. Please feel free to reach out and ask questions about this part of my education.*

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Talley. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Christine is absolutely incredible. I always think to myself, “If she is a glimpse of God’s patience and grace, I can’t even imagine the vast ocean that is His FULL of patience and grace.” Every time I have a session w her, it makes my day, because I know I can come as I am without being judged, but I know she cares about me that she doesn’t allow me to be stagnant. Very thankful for her!

Christine really listens, but she doesn't stop there. She is great on educating and has all kinds of exercises to help you get to the core issue. I feel Christine is a perfect match for walking me through the most challenging life experience I have ever lived through. I truly appreciate her compassion and how easily she can laugh with me.

Christine has taken the time to genuinely listen to me and made it very clear that there was no judgment. Christine then specified our sessions based on what I was after and provide me with tools to utilize after our sessions.

Christine Talley came into my life at the exact time I need her, she is a safe place and listens to me and guides me to where I want to be as a person, father, and husband. I feel better even in bad days knowing she is just a quick message away with calming words of wisdom and guidance.
