Getting to know Christopher Koch

Feeling heard and understood is essential to healing. I’m Chris Koch, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and founder of Still River Psychiatry in Bend, Oregon. I work with people ages 10–59, offering in-person care in Bend and telehealth throughout Oregon. I help patients navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with supportive conversations, mindfulness, and strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy. Together, we’ll explore how your symptoms affect daily life and develop a plan that reflects your needs, preferences, and goals. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I was a high school English teacher. That experience continues to shape how I listen, explain, and connect with people. I value open communication and want you to feel comfortable asking questions and taking an active role in your care. I offer an affirming, welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and people from diverse backgrounds. Whether you’re seeking care for the first time or looking for a fresh perspective, my goal is to help you feel supported as we find a path forward together.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and feel heard. I take time to understand what’s bringing you in, how it affects your daily life, and what you hope will change. We’ll make decisions together. I’ll explain treatment options, answer your questions, and respect your preferences. Alongside medication management, I incorporate supportive conversations, mindfulness, and practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to help you navigate everyday challenges. You don’t need to have everything figured out before your first appointment. Come as you are, and we’ll work together to find a path forward.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Getting started begins with a free, 15-minute connection call. This is a chance to ask questions, share a little about what brings you to care, and see whether we’re a good match. If we decide to move forward, I’ll pass your contact information along to Mindful Therapy Group, which manages scheduling and billing for my practice. We’ll then meet for a 60-minute initial appointment. I want to hear your story, understand your concerns, and learn what matters most to you. You’ll have space to ask more questions as we explore treatment options and create a plan together. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled based on your individual needs. We’ll use that time to review your progress, offer support, and make adjustments along the way.
