Getting to know Christopher Strahlenbach

I’m a licensed psychotherapist and mental health counselor with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. My clinical journey began almost 20 years ago and has included work in a wide variety of settings—ranging from acute inpatient psychiatric units to long-term outpatient care. This broad foundation has given me a deep appreciation for the diverse ways people experience distress and resilience, and it’s shaped the flexible, person-centered approach I bring to my work today. Before becoming a therapist, I served in the United States Army. That chapter of my life not only shaped my perspective, but also fueled a strong commitment to trauma-informed care. I understand firsthand the profound impact that trauma—whether from military service, childhood experiences, interpersonal violence, or systemic oppression—can have on someone’s mental health, sense of safety, and ability to thrive. My work is grounded in the belief that healing is possible, and that people are more than the worst thing that’s ever happened to them. Over the years, I’ve developed a broad clinical toolbox and draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities to meet my clients where they are. My work is rooted in a cognitive behavioral framework and guided by a solution-focused lens—meaning that while I take symptoms and struggles seriously, I also help clients build on their existing strengths and develop practical tools to move forward. Depending on a person’s needs, sessions might include elements of DBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, or mindfulness-based approaches. I believe therapy should never be one-size-fits-all.
