I can't recommend Chris enough. From the first time I met him, I felt comfortable opening up because of his calm, welcoming presence. He creates a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Chris has a lot of experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and it shows in the way he approaches therapy with sensitivity and care. He is also very knowledgeable about IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy and does a great job helping clients explore different parts of themselves in a way that feels thoughtful and empowering. If you're looking for a therapist who is compassionate, insightful, and genuinely invested in helping people grow, I would absolutely recommend reaching out to Chris.
Chris is an exceptional IFS therapist, and is well-versed in grief work. I consult with him regularly, and he offers such invaluable insights that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and so compassionate. Chris has a warm and genuine presence that comes through very naturally, and I look forward to each time I get to connect with him.
Chris is a wonderful human and I am so thankful to have met him. His sessions are just what I needed to re-center my self. I was going through a very difficult transition at work and meeting with Chris really helped me reflect and re-center my own values and what I am looking for. I would highly encourage people to check out the services of Slow Down Therapy and work with Chris. He is a great person to have on your side. He really does help you slow down, release, and be free.
When I have people in my life who are in need of direction or help with their first step into their mental health journey, especially those who are LGBTQ+ or creatives, Chris has always been the best person to reach out to for support and guidance. He truly cares about helping each person, and it really shows. Chris's office is also in the Arts District, which is such a lovely part of downtown with galleries, coffee shops, and places to hang out.
Chris is an incredibly compassionate and skilled therapist! His warm and grounding presence invites a safe and affirming space, especially for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. Chris is also seasoned in IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy and takes a nuanced approach, honoring all parts and intersections of identity. I highly recommend reaching out to Chris!
Chris brings incredible warmth and curiosity to his connection with others, and, as a fellow IFS therapist, I have witnessed firsthand his skillfulness with this therapeutic approach. Beyond IFS, his clinical expertise around navigating grief and trauma are evident, and I would highly recommend him to clients seeking a gentle and effective approach to their healing.
Chris is a wonderful and effective therapist. He taught me a lot about parts work, which was very helpful in my healing journey.
