“Chris is really unique. Not only he is an amazing therapist that helps you every step of the way, but he also delicately points out inconsistencies that sometimes we fail to see. He is very straightforward and genuine.”

“Christopher and kind and profound. I look forward to every appointment with him. I have learned so much in our sessions. He seems to be particularly great with PTSD, veterans and relatives, and addiction. He also uses the ACT principals which I have found to be life changing skills.”

Getting to know Christopher Koelln

You want to make a change. You are tired of that little voice inside your head that tells you you're not good enough even though you try so hard. You no longer want to wake up in the morning dreading the day or go to bed with so many thoughts racing that you can't sleep. Or maybe it is the opposite and you feel like you want to sleep all the time. You have been dealing with high anxiety, depression, difficulties in your personal relationships, or traumatic experiences, that have affected your well-being and way of life. And most of all, you just want to be happy, joyous, and free. If you relate to any of the statements above, it is time to make a change and the time is now! And it is easier than ever because I provide online therapy appointments where you can participate in therapy from the comfort of your own home. In addition, I can be reached either by phone or email with a quick turnaround for replies. Who am I? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with a master's degree in social work and have over 7 years of experience working as a Mental Health Therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also have experience and training working with individuals with substance use disorders. I personally have served in the military and have seen first-hand the difficulties that come with trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. My approach My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance, and commitment therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I tailor your goals and objectives in therapy to meet your specific needs. But also - I'm here to listen. My focus I work with individual adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. My communication style My counseling style is guided by four core principles - empathy, acceptance, compassion, and kindness.
