Christy Fraser, MFT, Inc. (#mfc 43014)

Christy Fraser was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She completed her undergraduate work at Sonoma State University and her graduate work at the College of Notre Dame in Belmont. Christy has always enjoyed working with children and her original intent was to pursue a teaching credential. After much research and thought, Christy decided that earning a masters degree in counseling would better meet her career ambitions. She was drawn to the idea of expanding her work beyond just school age children. With counseling, she could work with both children and adults in individual and group settings. The family setting is a focal point of Christy’s practice.

In the earlier part of Christy’s twenty-five year career, she worked in schools leading groups and counseling individuals. She facilitated children-of-divorce, well-being and socialization groups. She also worked with high-risk parents who had afflictions with drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and/or repercussions from abandonment.  Christy’s practice has also included supervised visits, off-site visits, and reunification. One primary purpose of Christy’s work is to help keep families connected. For this, Christy receives tremendous professional and personal satisfaction.
