I have been practicing for 28 years, working with a wide variety of populations and in many different settings. I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and an MA in Counseling and Rehabilitation. I am independently licensed as a professional counselor in KY, OH, and MO. I practice primarily from an existential-humanistic approach while also utilizing evidence-based therapies that are the most effective for treating the specific disorders, symptoms, or behaviors with which the individual presents. I provide EMDR and hypnotherapy as well as cognitive behavioral therapies. Aside from practicing therapy, I have a special interest in multiculturalism, social justice, and advocacy work. I believe extraneous social factors also have an impact on our emotional well-being, so I am involved in activism work that I believe will assist in changing the lives of people I serve.

I’m Chris, a licensed professional counselor who provides therapy for both individuals and couples seeking support, clarity, and healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges. I use an eclectic and integrative approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, trauma-informed practices, and the Gottman Method. This flexibility allows me to tailor therapy to each person or relationship, ensuring that the work we do together fits your goals, values, and pace. I specialize in helping clients with communication struggles, emotional disconnect, conflict patterns, anxiety, stress, and major life transitions. In individual work, I focus on understanding the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that shape your daily experience and your sense of self. In couples work, I help partners identify the cycles that keep them stuck and replace them with more supportive, respectful, and compassionate interactions. My style is structured, straightforward, and supportive. I aim to create a balanced therapeutic environment where you feel both validated and challenged in ways that promote growth. I work collaboratively, helping you develop insight while building concrete tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and strengthening relationships. Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, and easy to talk to—someone who helps them make sense of complex situations without judgment. My goal is to help you or your relationship feel more stable, connected, and empowered. Whether you're coming to therapy to heal, grow, or change long-standing patterns, I’m here to guide you through the process with clarity and compassion.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Missouri rather than a city like Kansas City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Missouri. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Missouri from Saint Louis to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Missouri.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
