Christopher has been very helpful in helping me identify concerns and issues and giving me a different perspective on how to deal with things as well as suggesting other options I hadn’t heard of. Just a great person.

I was lucky enough to be matched with Chris. Of the sessions we’ve had, he has been a great help! He has made the transition into therapy very easy; I was extremely apprehensive going into it. I’m SO glad to have him in my corner!
