Clinician in the Spotlight - Christy Van Horn, LCPC

Christy Van Horn, LCPC, Expressive Arts Therapist


It is with great joy that Christy joins the group at Healing in Circles Wellness Center!  She provides psychotherapy for both children and adults and is passionate about helping those with anxiety and depression to overcome symptoms and step into their happiest and most fulfilling life.  Her studies in expressive therapies combine the arts and traditional therapy techniques to facilitate the healing process.  This might include using a one or a combination of the arts including the visual arts, guided imagery/meditation, music and movement, writing, or drama to help clients find clarity when words fail.   She brings experience working with those with a diagnosis of chronic or terminal illness, history of trauma, and life and spiritual coaching.  She holds a Master’s in Expressive Therapies and Mental Health counseling from Lesley University and has received additional certification in EMDR, a specialized trauma technique. 

When working with clients, she uses a Mindfulness approach to therapy to encourage insight and compassion and deepen client self-awareness.   In this non-judgmental atmosphere, clients experience the sense of grace and enter a journey to remembering “who’ you were called to Be.   Our symptoms of depression and anxiety can originate when we stop listening to our inner voice, choosing instead to follow old patterns, or expectations.  Through the process of letting go, and relearning new thought patterns and behaviors, clients are able to experience healing.  This will allow for the client to experience  the “aha” moment and experience themselves and relationships in new ways.
