I’m Christopher Lewis, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in counseling & development and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. My background includes crisis intervention, individual, family, and group therapy, as well as supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions.

I understand that people can appear strong and capable while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to provide a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, better understand yourself, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

Valentina Smith

Therapist

Sometimes moving forward feels impossible when so much from the past is still weighing on you. Anxiety may keep your mind on high alert, depression can make it difficult to feel hopeful or connected, and grief or trauma may leave you carrying emotions that are difficult to explain to the people around you. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors experiencing anxiety, depression, stress management, grief or loss, and PTSD. These struggles can also overlap with ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic, relationship or family concerns, LGBTQIA+ and transgender experiences, identity concerns, or other effects of trauma. You may be trying to understand yourself, regain a sense of safety, or simply feel more like yourself again. Therapy can give you a supportive place to make sense of what you have been through while building confidence in where you are going next.
