Therapy By Chris

About

I'm a compassionate, person-centered therapist with over 17 years experience in the Psychological Health and Addictions fields. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and pragmatic feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I love being able to support positive changes in the lives of individuals and the satisfaction that comes from helping others overcome barriers to their own success. I do this by integrating complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly-personalized approach tailored to each client. I work with each individual to help build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

Inspired by my developmentally disabled sister, I began my mental health career as a Special Education instructor for developmentally disabled children and adults. I am recognized as a Subject Matter Expert in Substance Abuse and Psychological Health by the United States Government. I have worked both within our US military mental health clinics (stateside and abroad), as well as becoming several different program directors within the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. I am also highly skilled in Clinical Supervision and was most recently the Military and Clinical Advisor for the John's Hopkins Navy Social Work Fellowship Program.

I am an active member with the American Society of Addiction Medicine, National Association of Social Workers, American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work and the Employee Assistance Professionals Association.

The areas I specialize in are: Addictions, Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Pain, Trauma (PTSD), and Co-Occurring Disorders.

Insurance: I am IN NETWORK with Optum and am an AUTHORIZED OUT OF NETWORK provider with TRICARE.
