Dr. Christy Walter is an international health and healing advocate. She is a practicing Emergency Medicine physician, former psychotherapist, author, and speaker.

She wrote “The TAO of Trauma Healing: 12 Step Guide to Overcoming Anxiety and Depression” and the accompanying workbook to help as many people as possible. Differing from other therapeutic modalities, her unique method is direct, bold, fast, and effective. “Tao” (from Chinese philosophy) means “the way” and “harmony with nature.” Dr. Walter thinks of “TAO” as “Through And Out” of past trauma, negative emotions, and self-sabotage.

Dr. Walter is a sought-after public speaker who shares her story of tragedy and triumph to bring hope to others. She resides in San Diego, CA, where she enjoys horses, art, working out, church, and time with friends and family.
