My name is Christopher Baumann, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I understand that often we go through life managing internal struggles, while attempting to navigate our circumstances. By seeking greater understanding into us and our relationships, we may come face to face with our deepest doubts and fears. Avoiding struggles and pain opens up the possibility for dysfunction, negativity, and neglect. Being a human is messy. It's not as neat as our "should" and "shouldn't" would have us believe. You are allowed to talk about things that upset you. You are allowed to hold people accountable.

I believe that healing, growth, and change are possible when people enter into therapy with a willingness to share their truth, feel, and try new things. These positive changes can include a decrease in negative symptoms, increased self-esteem, improved communication skills, and enhanced relationships.

Relationships play an important role in our everyday lives. When relationships get off track, it can be so overwhelming. As such, I work with individuals, couples, and families to help heal the hurts and the pain of relational dynamics as well as trauma.

Each person has a unique life experience; the challenges they face and strengths they draw from are wholly their own. My aim as a therapist is to help clients see things from a new perspective, and tap into their strengths and resilience to meet their goals. I see each client as a person, rather than a diagnosis, and try to meet them where they are at in life’s journey. Together, we collaborate to form a person-centered treatment plan that reflects the client’s needs and goals.

I believe that therapy should be individualized for everyone. Therapy is not one size fits all, and because of that I draw from an eclectic approach.

Overall wellness is what I focus on with my clients. This can mean so many things to each of us as individuals. Our mental and physical health need nurturing. In a nonjudgmental manner, I take a person-centered approach to sessions from the initial meeting, goal setting and throughout sessions thereafter. The relationship we will build will be the foundation of the work we do! I have been a licensed clinical social worker for 24 years working with clients of all ages. In the past few years, I have focused on trauma work, depression and anxiety disorders. I look forward to working with you as you set your wellness goals!

Taking the first step toward change can be difficult, but here you are – taking that step, being brave, and showing up for yourself. Anxiety and depression can rob us of feeling safe, of our joy and connection, our vitality, and of our sense of well-being. It can leave us feeling exhausted and burnt out, unable to relax, sleep, eat well, and trust that everything is going to be okay.
