I recently had the pleasure of working with Gabriel for my first two therapy sessions, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, Gabriel made me feel comfortable and at ease, creating a safe and welcoming space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions.

Este mensaje se repitirara en espanol. Hi there! My name is Christopher and I am an effective and down-to-earth therapist. I think the relationship is of the utmost importance and am eager to hear what is important to YOU and what YOU hope to accomplish. I’ve successfully treated Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Adjustment Disorder (which is just a fancy clinical way to say circumstances that are exceptionally difficult). I have lots of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adult populations and I absolutely love what I do. I’m originally from metropolitan Detroit, spent a decade in Los Angeles, and just recently moved to Chicago. I love music, travel, parenting, photography, language, social justice, and FOOD! I look forward to hearing from you and feel free to reach out regarding questions!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
