Bridget Crist, LISW, is a compassionate therapist based in Ohio, who is deeply committed to guiding clients on their unique journeys toward self-acceptance and self-love. She provides a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore all aspects of themselves, helping them heal from both personal and societal trauma. Bridget believes in the transformative power of embracing one’s true self and operates from the philosophy that mistakes are a natural part of learning and growth. Her approach is collaborative and person-centered, with a focus on fostering resilience and emotional well-being. Bridget is particularly passionate about trauma recovery, including the impacts of generational trauma.

Her interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and family therapy, are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client.
She is dedicated to helping clients build the skills they need to manage their symptoms, improve their relationships, and achieve their personal goals. Outside of her professional life, Bridget enjoys spending time in nature, whether it’s biking, hiking, swimming, or simply sitting quietly. She finds joy in puzzles, traveling, and spending quality time with her kids. A lover of good food, Bridget appreciates the simple pleasures in life and encourages her clients to find mindfulness in their daily experiences.
