Adults Therapists in Downtown, San Jose, CA

Healing is possible. No matter who you are, or what happened to you, you deserve to feel safe and at home in your body. You can create a life that is worth living.

Hi, my name is Chris Offor. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about supporting my clients through challenges to experience healing and growth in their lives. Everybody’s unique. We might all be dealing with the same things in different ways, but we are all able to seek help and address what we see to be bothering us. So, while we are all unique, our symptoms can be typical. I find it rewarding working with adults seeking to cope with symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, anger problems, communication problems, relational issues, stages of life issues, and other behavioral issues.

My clients are motivated to engage in purposeful work that will allow them to gain insight into problems negatively affecting them, including: sadness, worries, trauma, anger outbursts, grief, life transitions and chronic stress. Our collaborative work will allow space for you to reflect, explore and learn valuable skills to help you navigate life stressors.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience and training working with teens, young adults, parents and families. I am passionate in engaging with clients interested in collaboratively working with me. I attended school in the Bay Area and understand the pressures to perform; including stress related to school, achievement focus, overwhelm and the adjustment to high school and/or college. I aim to help cope with and manage challenges associated to major life transitions. I facilitate middle-school group and enjoy providing parent-focused therapy to enhance relationships and improve communication.

Asking for help can be a monumental decision that requires a lot of courage. Finding the right therapist can be an equally difficult task. A therapeutic relationship needs to feel safe and collaborative, as it can serve as a foundation for healing. My goal is to assist you in accessing your internal strengths, exploring obstacles and working to overcome your challenges. Understanding what style or type of therapy you need can feel confusing. I will work with you to create a plan for treatment that is aligned with your needs and personality.

Sometimes life throws us situations we never imagined for ourselves. The death of a parent, spouse, or best friend. Frequent calls from your child’s teacher about their “bad behavior." A surprise announcement from your teen that they’re not comfortable in the gender you always thought they were. You’re not alone, and you or your child don’t have to go through these experiences alone, either. Together, we’ll find ways to cope with the days where it feels too hard to get out of bed, to explore what feelings are coming up when you’re crying alone in the shower, or to come up with strategies to see the “good” in your child.

We all juggle many elements in everyday life from finances, jobs, and responsibilities, to personal relationships as well as emotional and physical well-being. Sometimes, it is challenging to do it all–and stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression are just a few things that can affect us day to day. I have years of experience helping couples, families, adolescents, and adults find strength within and build upon their own resilience and overcome emotional, mental, and relationship challenges.

Hello! I am a bilingual therapist (Spanish/English). My work as a therapist began in 2014. I provide therapy to adults living throughout the state of California (through Telehealth). My approach is tailored to each person’s individual needs so that they can make progress toward their mental health goals. Some of the support I have provided includes collaborating with clients to identify solutions, develop coping skills, increase self-care, learn how to communicate effectively, and learn how to manage/express emotions. I would love to discuss how I can support you and determine if I am the right therapist for you.

We all have moments in our lives when we need a little support. Even the most loving relationships can encounter bumpy roads, and thriving careers can at times become a major stressor. If you are here, you may be in that moment now - feeling stuck or overwhelmed in some way. I provide individuals, couples (and relationships of every kind) a place to slow down, take a breath and explore what’s going on and where you’d like to go. I also work with teens and young adults who are often under great pressure balancing school, life, and growing up, and offer a place to find their footing.

Life can be challenging and it may be difficult trying to manage it alone. Not everyone has someone safe to talk to without judgement or experiencing shame and/or guilt. Do you have a specific issue you want to tackle? Are you experiencing patterns you just want to break free from? Having someone to explore the origins of your struggles/challenges can be liberating. Do you need life skills, communication skills, strategies to manage your mind, mood management techniques to make life more manageable? Being human isn't easy and having someone to process with you w/unconditional regard and acceptance can be freeing and life changing.

Some emotions and experiences feel too difficult or overwhelming to face alone. If you are looking for a safe, compassionate ally to walk alongside you to help create a path towards healing, I would love to partner with you in finding greater meaning from your story. As your therapist, I empower you to resolve challenges in relationships by developing tools to build confidence, process grief and trauma, and develop healthier communication. I will partner with you in identifying your inner wisdom and core strengths to help you make deeper connections with yourself and others.

I offer services for adults struggling with difficult family dynamics, mental health distress, and emotional burdens. The emotional experiences you encounter can be shaped by your upbringing and family history. My role as your therapist is to help you uncover important parts of yourself, gain more emotional flexibility, and facilitate change to your current circumstances. I specialize in working with adults dealing with depression, grief, loneliness, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, anger management, and history of trauma and abuse. I connect with my patients in a warm and steady manner, establishing trust for our work together.

Dealing with life’s challenges sometimes feels like being trapped in quicksand—the harder you fight to get out of it, the deeper you sink. Exhausting, right? When stress, hopelessness, painful incidents, or risky habits prevail, enjoying the present becomes quite difficult. Your past wounds and current hardship may take over, clouding the road to your future. You crave clarity, meaning, and validation. You want to get out of this rut to find fulfillment and happiness but are unsure how. The good news is: you can figure it out, understand yourself better, and reach your dream goals— and I’m here to guide you on that path.

Hello! Periods of change and growth occur throughout life and often arrive with unexpected challenges. During these periods of uncertainty, having support from a counselor can help you gain clarity and confidence to take steps toward a greater sense of well-being. Whether you are feeling stuck in your relationships, overwhelmed by life, or seeking a deeper sense of meaning, I will work with you collaboratively to increase your capacity for resilience and connection. I enjoy working with adults, teens, children, and couples. I also have experience supporting the parent/child dynamic and sometimes work with parent and child together.
