I have worked with all age ranges from youth to adult. I work with those that want to put in the work. Therapy is not always easy and fun, and knowing that it will get uncomfortable when we confront issues that we have identified is when the progress happens.
I also do private college counseling sessions for high school students and parents.

Hey there, I'm Chris.
You've built a successful life and you're exhausted. You say yes when you mean no, second-guess everything, and spend more energy managing everyone else's feelings instead of your own. You're not broken — you're burned out. There's a difference. I work with high-achieving adults who are done pretending they're fine.

Leaders and high achievers come to me when they look capable, but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck inside often. They carry responsibility for others, second-guess decisions, and feel pressure to stay “on” and get it right. Many replay conversations after meetings, lie awake planning tomorrow, or only feel relief when everything is handled. Rest feels hard, and time off doesn’t reset their mind the way they hoped. Even wins don’t feel settling. They want clarity, confidence, and real relief, calm, grounded, and in control, without losing their edge They’re ready for support that helps them move forward at work and at home.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.
Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
