I provide support to college students & adults in the areas of anxiety, grief, life transitions, postpartum anxiety, betrayal trauma, teen trauma, and being the adult child of immigrants. I also provide support to couples in the areas of communication, premarital, pre-engagement, and pre-cohabitation. I've worked with various populations & present issues/concerns, thus garnering my areas of specialty. Being a 1.5-generation immigrant has afforded me firsthand experience/knowledge of the difficulties and challenges that children of immigrants may face. My specialty areas in no way limits my ability to work with a variety of clients.

Hello, I'm Chris. If you've ever felt like you've been alone in society and that you are experiencing a sense of stress related to societal expectations that are unrealistic or built for those who are in a group you feel you don't belong to, I may be a good fit for you. I have an extensive history of working with individuals of various minority group backgrounds, but specialize and focus in working with people who identify within the LGBTQ+ community, including offering affirming services and helping people navigate coming out, family and peer relationships, and romantic and sexual concerns.

Coming to therapy for the first time can be challenging. Returning to therapy after a break can be challenging too. Making the decision to heal, process, and grow is the first empowered decision I can help you to make. Whatever you are facing right now or struggling with most, I will serve you to the best of my abilities and walk along your new journey with you. I especially work with families, couples, and individuals who are working through family or couples issues.

I am an individual therapist who treats adults and adolescents. I help clients to find an effective way to balance life's struggles with feelings of success and competence. My experience living and working overseas--in a number of other cultures--allows me to be very open to how each of us is shaped and influenced by our life experiences. I specialize in a variety of issues, including depression and anxiety, self esteem, relationship issues, parenting, family dynamics, adjustment issues, grief and loss, and trauma.

I am a Mental Health Therapist and Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist. I work with individuals, couples & families. I work with people who are experiencing issues in relationships, stress - anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, and Adult Children of Alcoholics and dysfunctional family systems issues. I work with people that have deep core issues that are not shifted by traditional treatment and decide to use hypnotherapy to break through deeply held stored trauma, old beliefs and old behaviors that no longer serve them. My clients goals are to lift the veil of feeling not-good-enough and embrace who they really are.

Are you ready to take the next steps on your mental health journey? I enjoy working with adults, families, and children, plus assisting families and minors to find solutions to behavioral issues. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, or are in need of coping skills for ADHD, I look forward to working with you

As a Counseling Psychologist I am searching to find health or “ego strength“ in a person. People are capable of having internal positive and negative aspects in play at all times. Working from a psychodynamic model to see the whole clinical picture, I believe insight is crucial but it doesn’t guarantee behavior change. To that end I work from a cognitive and behavioral model to build strength.

Do you feel that your life is spinning out of control, not sure if you are coming or going, and feel no one understands? Low self-esteem, worry about the future, and wounds from the past can hold us back from the freedom we crave. Moving into that freedom requires both trust and a commitment to change. I offer empathetic listening, non-judgemental attitude, and a relaxing environment. Faith, Hope & Healing Professional Counseling Services, LLC offers a safe place to share your emotional and mental concerns so you nor your family will feel alone.

Raising children is a fulfilling and puzzling part of our lives. From that first day we meet our new baby, a world of hope, wishes, and new possibilities begin. Parents don’t leave the hospital with a guidebook on how to address every bump and hurdle along the way. Children are unique, complex, and exciting. Sometimes however, they also need extra support. In my therapeutic work, I partner with you to understand the needs of your family and that of your child. Together we explore the concerns which bring you into my office – whether trauma, adjustment, anxiety, school related concerns, or behavioral challenges.

I offer my clients a safe, comfortable atmosphere in which to process difficulties/concerns they are currently experiencing. I believe in taking all aspects of a person's life into consideration when planning treatment. I work with my clients to plan an approach to change and empowerment that is tailored to meet their personality, background experiences, and goals. I look for strengths my clients already possess and build upon them, also taking into consideration areas in their lives they believe need healing and development. I assist my clients in working at a pace that is right and comfortable for then.

Finding the right therapist can be a challenge. It is extremely important to find the right fit for you. This creates the foundation for success in therapy. Together, we will work toward creating a new in-depth relationship which is supportive, strengthening, and enlivening. Understanding why and how we react or feel the way we do in relationships with others is a step toward a healthy, grounded, and fulfilled place in life. Working with a trained therapist will help you explore your life with different lenses and introduce alternative choices and pathways.

"Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary" (Fred Rogers). Taking care of your mental health is often the hardest but most valuable work you’ll ever do. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling to express themselves in healthy or effective ways, who have been through painful experiences, or who need to find new ways to cope.

Are you struggling with a life transition, stressors, anxiety, or depression? Are you a college student having a difficult time adjusting to their first year in college, a young adult/adult working through career, family, relationship, or personal discovery stressors, or someone who is struggling with depression and finds they have a general lack of motivation?

I enjoy meeting with individuals (18 and up), couples and families. I encourage coming into therapy for any variety of reasons including relationship difficulties, life changes, trauma, stress, loss etc. I can help address concerns related to symptoms or just simply talk to you about your life in a way a friend or family member cannot.

I am so glad that you took the step to find a therapist to help you in your struggles! Life can be hectic and overwhelming and when you're struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, separation/divorce, issues with your children, issues with being a teenager, etc., the overwhelming feelings can get to be too much. I am here to let you know that there is help in dealing with these struggles

Through the lens of Bowen Systems Theory I work towards providing insight and awareness into the emotional process that we often find ourselves intensely reacting from. Building on that insight and awareness, decreasing the emotional reactivity while increasing calmer and more rational choices. Looking at our emotional patterns to better understand them allows us then to think in a way that can provide an openness to making different choices. To know better is to do better! To understand why we react to our situations and where those patterns have been learned, we can then start to look at each new moment as it’s own.
