“Chris has been an amazing clinician. He has a very unique perspective which has helped me to positively reframe my circumstances and develop tools to break negative cycles. Chris also isn't afraid to challenge me through tough love, but even this he dispenses with care and empathy. Chris may be unconventional in some ways, but this is extremely refreshing for me.
Couldn't be happier with Chris as my therapist.”

Getting to know Christopher Boyt
Hi! My name is Chris, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. I focus on compassion, empathy, and honoring the unique story each of us carries. My goal is to promote resiliency and acceptance, empowering clients to create the change they want in their lives.
My approach
I describe my approach as freeform and narrative-focused. I begin with curiosity and compassion, adapting methods to your treatment needs. I often incorporate Narrative therapy and Logos therapy, blending humor, banter, and storytelling throughout our work.
My focus
I enjoy working with all clients, especially those moving from trauma and pain toward the life they want. I have experience supporting LGBTQ+ members, survivors of abuse, individuals coping with complex grief, and those who are neurodivergent.
My communication style
I strive to create a warm, accepting, creative, and humorous environment. Clients describe it as a safe space to face struggles and be themselves. I’m known for hyperbolic speech and encouraging clients to take themselves less seriously and enjoy living.
My journey to therapy
I didn’t initially aim to become a therapist but quickly fell in love with psychology, taking every class I could. I’m fascinated by people’s stories and enjoy learning about new individuals. My passion comes from my love of people and desire to help those hurting.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting indirectly, starting with mindset, motivators, and desired outcomes. Together, we then set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-specific goals.
My first session with you
The first session is relaxed and paced by you. I begin with “getting to know you” questions and explore your treatment goals, ensuring we start on a foundation that feels right for you.
