About Counseling
Therapy is a working process, one where you are the expert. Counselors provide care for each client’s specific needs. Counseling takes the time it takes, and there’s no limit on healing/growth. It can provide tools to help you understand that your thoughts and feelings are out of your control—all you can control is your behavior. And that’s where the work begins.

Meet our Provider, Chris Cole
I work with a variety of clients, and am happy to discuss your specific needs and how we can work together to make the changes you want to see.
I try to keep the first session a little more structured than the following sessions. First, I like to learn about previous counseling experiences from the client. Then, I discuss privacy practices and informed consent (which also helps you get to know me a little). Then, with the time remaining, we can go as far and as deep as you would like.
I like to provide tools to help clients understand that their thoughts and feelings are out of their control—all they can control is their own behavior. And that’s where the work begins.
If you want to make choices that live your values, I'd love to help provide you with tools and insight for your specific needs. You're the expert in your life - I just work here!
