Getting to know Christopher Gentles
With a career spanning over 27 years, I am a distinguished Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, recognized for my extensive work in both high-paced agency environments and specialized private practice. My professional journey has been defined by a deep-seated commitment to human resilience and a nuanced understanding of the systemic and psychological barriers that impact mental health.
Throughout my two and a half decades of practice, I have cultivated a unique expertise in navigating the intersection of culture, socio-economic status, and individual mental health. Having worked with a vast spectrum of clients-from adolescents finding their identity to adults navigating complex life transitions-I bring a seasoned, evidence-based approach to every session. My clinical philosophy goes beyond symptom management; it is rooted in the belief that adversity is a catalyst for profound personal evolution. By integrating a wealth of clinical modalities with a culturally responsive lens, I empower clients to dismantle long-standing obstacles and build a foundation for sustainable health and professional excellence.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
