Getting to know Christopher Ferraris

Chris is a warm, collaborative, and strengths-based therapist who believes therapy is most effective when grounded in trust, curiosity, and mutual respect. His client-centered approach is informed by evidence-based practices and shaped by each person’s goals, values, and lived experiences, with an emphasis on building practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Chris is a social worker–researcher with over a decade of experience at the intersection of clinical practice and behavioral research. He began his career providing motivational interviewing and CBT-based interventions in clinical settings and continues to integrate evidence-based approaches into his therapeutic work while pursuing his Doctorate of Clinical Social Work.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect a warm, inviting environment that centers their lived experience, values, and goals. You are the expert in your own life and I will work alongside you to build insight, perspective, and practical tools that support meaningful change. Creating a space grounded in authenticity and curiosity is central to my work, allowing clients to reflect openly and without judgment. Together, we explore patterns, habits, and coping strategies that may have been helpful at one point but are no longer serving your current needs.
