Hello, I'm Christian. Life can throw challenges at you that can leave you feeling lost, helpless, overwhelmed, grieving, gripped by worry, or even hopeless. Perhaps experiences in your life have left you with unresolved trauma that keeps you from experiencing happiness or connecting with others. We are often ill-equipped to manage the problems we face, and this can leave us feeling stuck. Whatever the particular struggles you currently face, you need not be alone. I can come alongside you in your journey through your struggles and help you develop the tools you need to overcome them. I can offer you a different perspective and a new way of thinking about your problems while helping you build the coping skills you need to manage them and the often overwhelming emotions that come along with them. Together, we can help you find a way through your problems and achieve the life you want to live.

I am an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with more than 19 years of experience treating mental health and substance abuse disorders. I graduated from The University of Akron in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and went on to earn my master's degree in Clinical and Pastoral Counseling in 2005 from Ashland Theological Seminary. Since 2005, I have worked for community mental health and addiction treatment centers, and for the last 3 years, I have moved into private practice work. Over the course of my career, I have helped clients with a wide variety of mental health problems, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, phobias, PTSD, grief/bereavement, addiction, problem gambling, and anger issues.

I primarily work with adults and can address all types of client problems and concerns. Although I draw from many different approaches when working with clients, the two approaches I use the most are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you change the way you think about yourself and your problems while also developing more effective coping skills to manage stressors. Additionally, using a Motivational Interviewing approach, I can help you to discover your personal strengths, see opportunities for change, and tap into your internal motivation for change. I promise, I will strive to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with you in which you feel truly heard and understood. I believe that our work together can help you overcome your struggles and improve your life.

If you're ready to take the first step towards a better tomorrow, I'm here to help. Let's work together to navigate your path to healing and growth.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
