Christie LeBeau
I have been a therapist for over 10 years, before that I was a school teacher.
I was raised in Ann Arbor Michigan, lived in Las Vegas Nevada for 20 years, and now reside in Madison Wisconsin. I bring both the laid-back vibe of the West Coast while still being rooted in midwestern values and spirit into my work with you.
I am a white, cisgender, heterosexual woman who has been afforded great privilege in life while also navigating my world in a society that marginalizes women and fat bodies.
The name LeBeau Possibilities is a promise I made to my father; I would keep his namesake alive and meaningful.
LeBeau, in French, means The Beautiful; and to me, therapy offers beautiful possibilities.
In addition to my formal training, I feel most guided by Mr. Rogers, our friendly neighbor, who was my model of curiosity and compassion growing up and I still call upon his wisdom.
