About Me
My passion for this particular work has long since transcended the walls of my own household into helping other HSCs and HSPs as I came across them in my line of work. I go above and beyond for all of my clients, ensuring they receive the time, understanding and quality of care that we all deserve. Using an integrated therapeutic approach, I will provide you with a deeply personal and transformative healing experience that is tailored to your unique needs. I look forward to guiding you on your path to inner self-discovery and empowerment.
My name is Christie Brulhardt and I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Intuitive Healer and Empath. Most importantly, I am a single mom of two beautiful girls who are my light and whole heart. As an empath, I have the ability to understand people on a much deeper level as I am able to feel what they feel as if their feelings were my own. Of course, I did not start out knowing the difference between my emotions and someone else's, that took time and practice. Being an empath felt like a curse most of my life, mainly because I did not understand why my emotions were so extreme and intense when others did not seem as affected, not even close. My childhood, teens and young adult life felt like an insane roller coaster ride with no exit. It was not until I learned what it was about me that made me highly sensitive that I was able to begin my journey of learning what it actually meant to be an empath. While this journey was one I had to figure out on my own, it brought about my natural spirituality and ability to connect with my intuition, higher self, spirit guides and angels. Being highly sensitive turned out to be a beautiful gift, not a diagnosis or a curse, who knew?!
I see all age ranges, from children as young as two years old and up. It is my life's purpose to help others who are highly sensitive receive the insight and tools needed to understand who they are and how to approach life with a new perspective. Every human being is unique and deserves to be understood the way they are, not treated like they need to "be fixed." This is particularly important for highly sensitive children (HSC)/empath children. I recognized that my 4-year old daughter started displaying signs she was a HSC when she was approximately 18-months-old. Many don't understand how to "handle" children when they become over-stimulated emotionally, whether it be their own emotions or picking up on the emotions of others. My daughter would display her intense feelings via tantrums, uncontrollable crying, aggression, etc., which can easily be misdiagnosed as a multitude of things. If I had not been aware of the signs and extremes from experiencing them myself as an empath child, I would have never known what was happening inside of her and thought something was very wrong. I began teaching her age-modified breathing techniques when she was just under two, and now she is able to sit and meditate with me. Without any guidebook on the subject (besides my own experiences and schooling), I went through different methods to figure out how to help her on her level in a way she could understand. ​
My Vision
You've come to the right place if you're ready to unlock your full potential and discover your authentic self. With my unique approach to therapy that combines clinical and holistic methods, I'm confident that we can overcome any obstacles that may be standing in your way. I envision a world where people come together in unity to support each other, rather than suffer alone in silence. That's why I offer groups/workshops that are specifically designed to foster connections and build a sense of community. These groups/workshops share a common factor that will make you feel safe and understood, as well as provide something to look forward to every week. Even when therapy gets tough, you'll experience a genuine sense of pride that leaves you walking away from each session feeling lighter and closer to your goals.
