I'm Christie Dixon, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate serving individuals, couples, and families in the Dallas, Richardson, and Plano area. I specialize in trauma, addiction, and adoption-related challenges, using evidence-based approaches — including EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) — that create real, lasting change, often faster than traditional talk therapy alone.

With over 30 years of marriage and four children — including the unique and beautiful path of adoptive parenting — I understand the complexities of family life from the inside out. Outside the therapy room, you'll find me hiking, reading, working a puzzle, or just getting outside — I believe strongly in the kind of restoration that comes from slowing down and being in nature. Oh, and I have two dogs who would argue they're the real therapists in the family.

Whatever happened before this moment doesn't define what comes next. I genuinely care about the people I work with, and I take it seriously that you've trusted me with the hardest parts of your story. When you sit across from me, you don't have to explain why it's hard. I already understand.

Ready to take the first step? I offer a free 15-minute consultation and see clients in person in Richardson, as well as via telehealth across Texas. Weekday, evening, and Saturday appointments are available — because life doesn't fit into a 9-to-5 box, and your healing shouldn't have to either.
