After we schedule a session, I will email you the initial paperwork through your client portal. Please complete the paperwork at least 48 hours prior to our session. If we are meeting virtually, you will receive a link to our session. Once you’ve completed the initial paperwork, there is nothing else you need to do.
Our first session is flexible: we can take the time to get to know your story, or dive right in—your choice.
-
Typically, clients choose to meet weekly or every other week in the beginning and then shift to meeting less often. I will support whatever frequency works best for you.
-
Appointments are reserved especially for you. I understand that sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary. Therefore, I respectfully request at least 24-hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling of appointments. If not, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.

No. After your session, you’ll receive an invoice by email to send your payment via e‑transfer to christywestratherapy@gmail.com. Once your payment processed, a receipt will be emailed to you. You can then submit this receipt to your health insurance provider for reimbursement.
I am drawn to Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, often called “Parts Work,” to support clients who are navigating disruptions in their relationship with food and their body, but will also pull from other modalities.
Many people experiencing disordered eating describe moments when a part of themselves—or sometimes several parts—seem to take over. In these moments, it can feel as though you are no longer in the driver’s seat.
IFS therapy helps us gently explore these parts with curiosity and compassion, understanding how each part may be trying to protect or help you—even when its strategies are causing distress. In this approach, there are no bad parts. Every part has a role, a story, and the capacity to heal.
As we build relationships with these parts, space begins to open for you to reconnect with your core Self—the calm, compassionate, and confident center that already exists within you.
You don’t have to navigate your inner world alone. Together, we can learn to listen to it with compassion and care.
