My name is Sarai Vanderpoorten, but I go by Christi. I have been a licensed Marriage and Family therapist for 30 years. I have worked in several capacities including mental health hospitals, addiction treatment centers, private practice, and now in the telehealth arena. I have been doing the telehealth platform for 3 years. My previous work was in Mississippi and moved to Alabama in 2021. I am married and have 5 grown children and 4 grandchildren.
