Christopher Weed
As a former high school and college teacher, advisor and coach I transitioned into working with young people primarily as a therapist in 2004. A part of being human is dealing with things that feel painful. It has been said that pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice. Over my 16+ years of work, I have appreciated helping people ease their suffering and cope with painful feelings and experiences. Through safe, open and honest discussion people learn to invite and foster the changes they want to see in their lives and in themselves.
Throughout my career, I have worked in communities where I have seen many different people with many different types of lives and struggles. I specialize in being authentic and present with my clients no matter what they bring to the sessions. I consider myself a general practitioner of the art of listening and collaborating to create change.
I appreciate working with people to help them understand their internal processes, their environmental challenges and their overall capabilities. It takes a certain courage to engage in therapy and seek help in taking care of oneself. I respect this courage deeply and honor working with others in an authentic, empathic and non-judgmental manner.
