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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
