I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York. I have experience working with a wide range of disorders and concerns including anxiety, anger/aggression, relationship issues, self-esteem, substance abuse, chronic health conditions. My counseling style can best be described as interactive, empathetic, organic, authentic and transparent. I do believe therapy is work but should also be an enjoyable process. I take a client-centered approach, which translates into treatment being built around the idea that you are the expert of you. Recognizing each client is a unique complex individual comprised of mind, body, and spirit. The goal is to obtain a balance of each component and enjoy life to its fullest. I utilize basic CBT-based interventions and motivational therapy to create goals and establish new coping skills. I would like to applaud you in taking the first difficult steps in reorganizing your life. It’s going to be a fantastic journey. Thank you for your interest in working with me. ~ Chris
