Hello! My name is Chris Minerd, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (138866). I specialize in working with men's mental health, relationships, and self-improvement. I am committed to helping my clients cultivate a solution-oriented mindset that empowers them to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. To achieve this, I use a multi-faceted approach that draws on a range of evidence-based techniques that draw on your individual strengths and work towards challenging areas of discomfort.
I'm a therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy and respect, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while actively working towards active solutions.
Communication is key. Not only with others, but also how you speak (and think) about yourself and your actions. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while actively working towards active solutions.
