Therapists in Morgantown, WV

Seeking help takes courage. Therapy can provide a space to learn more about yourself and find new ways to navigate life’s challenges. I work with individuals who experience military-related concerns; boundary setting, imposter syndrome, family of origin issues, family-related trauma, or attachment ruptures, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am also prior service military and have some insight regarding this culture.

My ideal client is someone that comes for counseling services due to a strong desire to create positive change in their life. These clients want to see what life is like when they do not just tolerate feeling bad about themselves, isolating, having anxious thoughts, feeling "off", and many other things. These clients need someone that will listen and provide them a safe space to be heard and be told their wants and needs are valid and sometimes told when they are functioning off of irrational thoughts as well. A client that wants to see what they are capable of changing and/or coping with because they feel stuck is why I'm here.

Anxious? Do you feel like your brain gets stuck? Are you worried about what COULD happen? Are you getting easily irritated towards loved ones? Maybe you are feeling sad, overwhelmed, or having a difficult time with life's changes. Reaching out can be frightening, as well as the idea of these symptoms worsening. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for you and/or your child/family to connect, feel heard and understood, and learn the tools needed to get back to functioning at the level you desire. Let me help you turn life's challenges into a journey of bravery and self-care.

My philosophy of healing is like working your way through a set of nesting dolls from the outer doll representing why you want to heal: trauma, attachment/relationship injury, depression, grief, and anxiety. The next doll holds the symptoms, thoughts, and feelings of the first doll. The next doll may may hold your negative beliefs you have perceived about yourself, others, and the world. The next doll may hold consequences and life impairments. The final doll represents your core and authentic self. The person you would be without all of the other dolls in relationship to the unity of mind, soul, heart, body and spirit.

“Midway along the journey of our life I woke to find myself in a dark wood, for I had wandered off from the straight path." This sentence encapsulates the feelings many clients bring to therapy, the culmination of years of existential angst, an accumulation of guilt, anxiety, loss, among a myriad of other experiences which have inflicted pain and suffering. My experience working with clients in exploring their unique symptoms, be it depression, anxiety, etc., is to not rush headlong into an immediate remedy of the symptoms, rather the exploration of how these symptoms may be trying to inform in new ways of approaching life.

Inevitably, we all experience some type of life transition at one time or another. Whether they are unexpected or by choice, life transitions can feel scary and sometimes isolating. I do not work with couples; however, my primary focus is on strengthening and building relationships. I love helping my clients get to a place in their life where they feel more confident and free, whether they want to focus on self-work, current relationships, or dealing with grief and loss of a person or a relationship.

Welcome! I'm Chris, a Licensed Independent Clinical Therapist (LICSW).

Together, we will find our path forward!

Are you feeling stuck, alone, lost? I can help. Everyone struggles with navigating a world that's often unkind, confusing, and overwhelming. I get it, it's hard to be a human. Having lived all over the world & moved 19 times, I know life can be tricky to navigate. Sometimes you need someone from the outside to help you make sense of life's messy stuff. I can. I've worked in prisons, with veterans, mil-families, trauma victims, govt officials, celebrities, moms, dads, college students, people like you and me, just trying to do life. I'm confident that together, we can shift, adjust, adapt and thrive. Breathe, then get unstuck.

I have a background working with clients with substance use disorders and those carrying trauma from their past. Sometimes the brain can become stuck in survival mode because it is doing what it thinks is best for you. I believe that by having a safe place to compassionately explore the things we keep inside, it can open up the doorway to healing and allow the brain to shift from a state of survival to one of thriving. I am a neurodivergent therapist who loves working with neurodivergent clients to support them in identifying what works for them to be their most functional and happy self.
