Getting to know Christopher Weston

Christopher Weston, LMFT, earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara and his Master of Science in Psychology from California Southern University. Christopher's professional experience extends far beyond the walls of his therapy practice. He is the former Deputy Director of the El Dorado County Public Health Division, Health & Human Services Agency, where he managed county-wide public health programs, secured nearly 3.5 million dollars in grant funding to serve his community, and started what is now the largest primary care clinic in the county, providing services to low-income individuals and families. In addition, Christopher has worked directly within vulnerable populations, specifically the frail elderly and persons with serious mental illness, legally acting on their behalf due to their inability to make their own decisions. He has also worked with delinquent youth in high-risk juvenile detention centers and individuals struggling to secure stable employment while overcoming obstacles such as health, housing, and childcare. In his transition into the mental health field, Christopher worked in various settings including psychiatric institutions, board and care homes, and independent living facilities. In addition to being a therapist, he is the founder and director of the El Dorado County Coalition for Overdose Prevention and Education (COPE), where he collaborates with healthcare organizations, community-based nonprofits, public leaders, concerned residents, and consumers to combat the substance abuse overdose crisis. Christopher's commitment and dedication to advocacy work for both his local community and the mental health field add breadth and depth to his clinical work and treatment plan development.
