Get to know Christopher
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
It's deeply rewarding to see clients overcome their challenges, discover new perspectives toward change, and find a greater sense of happiness, health, and meaning.
What types of clients do you work with best?
I work well with clients who are adjusting through life changes, who are committed to achieving their personal goals, and interested in growing in their spiritual, relational, emotional, physical and mental health.
What type of clients are you most excited to work with?
I am most excited about working with clients interested in growing in Christian faith. I believe spirituality and counseling can help clients overcome issues of anxiety and depression.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew?
The therapeutic alliance between counselor and client is shown to be the number one predictor of positive outcomes in therapy. The quality of the relationship between therapist and client is the most significant factor in determining successful treatment results.
Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
I chose Thriveworks because telehealth is often more convenient.
What inspires you?
I am inspired by the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ. I am also inspired by my hardworking parents.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
During the first session, I will obtain information primarily through general interviewing questions to assess the client's background, stressors, and needs.
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
During the first session I am looking to learn relevant details to the client's presenting problem, and learning what specific goals one would like to work on.
What should clients know about you before scheduling a first session?
Telehealth is not for immediate crisis situations. If you feel like you're in crisis please call the crisis hotline or dial 988. Please have a quiet and private place with stable wifi connection when meeting for our sessions. Please check to see that your video and audio work reliably. Please set reminders for our meetings and try to be on early at least 5 minutes before sessions begin. Please notify as early as possible if a session needs to be rescheduled.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
I enjoy exercise and playing sports.
What's one thing about you that defines you (non-professional)?
I believe my Christian faith defines my worldview, including my ethics, integrity, morals, virtues, purpose and values.
