Christian Counseling Therapists in San Mateo County, CA
I'm Chris Hoover. LMFT. I believe therapy should be relaxed, open, and honest, and a learning experience where a client develops skills that will help them for the rest of their life. I've worked with at-risk youth, the seriously and persistently mentally ill, the LGBTQIA community, and people with substance abuse issues, as well as many people dealing with issues adjusting to common life changes and stressors. I work with all types of people. I enjoy helping people work through depression and anxiety, helping clients manage their school or job stress, and helping new parents or married couples adapt to the changes in their lives.

Everyone is unique. Your thoughts, feelings and needs are shaped by your own background, family history, past interpersonal encounters and other significant events, including early child trauma. Psychotherapy is an emotional process. As we discuss your concerns, it will surface unexamined parts of your life of which you may not be aware or want to experience. My central role as your therapist is to help you talk about and understand more fully these unexamined thoughts, feelings, and needs in the context of your past, develop greater understanding, tolerance and acceptance, and to bring changes to your current situation.

Hi there, I'm Charity! With all the challenges life presents, coupled with the recent upheaval of our daily existence, prioritizing one's mental health is now more essential than ever. As we continue to adapt as a society to a "new normal", at times we may feel overwhelmed by a world that is constantly in a state of flux. Fear, anxiety, or a sense of powerlessness may sometimes engulf us and our ability to cope with a world that seems to lack consistency and stability.

I help clients to know their strengths, how their cultures and families affect them, their needs and their purpose - their very selves. They may lack good ways to get their needs met. Or, they may not be asking the right questions. They may be looking for more calm, more joy and more control over their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
