Connect with Christian Brinkley

My name is Christian, and I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2020. My experience has primarily focused on general mental health concerns, such as Anxiety, Depression, and Adjustment-related disorders. I also have extensive history working with substance-abuse/addictions, as well as legal involvement and offender populations. I tend to be solution-focused in my approach; I feel that the purpose of our time working together is for you and I to explore your concerns, and then use your own strengths to assist you in navigating them. You can book with me by clicking on my website.

My approach to therapy is primarily Person Centered and Solution-Focused. I feel that you are the expert in your own life, and my goal would be that you help me understand your concerns so that you and I can use your strengths to navigate these areas more effectively. I also rely heavily on Cognitive-Behavioral techniques and psychoeducation.

I am grateful you are willing to take the chance and share your thoughts and feelings with me, and I am hopeful we will be able to build a working relationship where we can start to explore your concerns in way that feels comfortable and productive to you.
