My goal to normalize the struggles that are common in our most valuable relationships and help people see that they are not alone.

Hello, I'm Christopher Navas, LMFT in California. I enjoy working with people at various stages of their lives and therapeutic process. I work well with teens, young adults, middle aged and older adults. I began working with very young kids, as young as 5 and have since worked with people up until age 85. The last couple of years I have ventured into working with couples as well.
