More about me

Licensing: MA, LMFT Years in Practice: 6 State: California

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. My primary goal is that my clients feel safe and comfortable with me. I have 10 years of experience working with children, teens and adults. I have had the opportunity to work with parents, children, and individuals, but I focus on parenting strategies, as it is pertinent to raising a family well. Parents often have a hard time talking to their kids, either because they aren't open to it, or the long work hours prohibit them from spending time together. Single parents are often dealt the toughest hand. Managing home and work life is not easy, it can be overwhelming and cause us to burn out. Having someone to vent to may help! Seeking counseling is the first step, and I strive to provide sound direction

I will not pretend to have all of the answers, but I can promise to work with you to find the helpful life solutions. Please try to understand this process, as things become new. I hope you are ready to work, because I may ask you questions, or challenge you to do things that you may not be used to doing. My approach includes cognitive-behavioral training, humanistic and solution-focused therapy. I have a license, but you are the expert in your own life. The more you do on your end, the more I will be able to help. We can always adapt and adjust to continue the course

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

My counselor Christopher Navas has been a huge help to me through some big issues and decisions. He makes me look at things in a different way, and what I think the issue is, sometimes isn't the real issue. Working on myself has never been something I thought I could do, but he has made me do tough things by facing small fears one at a time. I can tell him a anything with complete confidence.

Chris navigates through conversation in a way where you feel listened to, understood but also challenged. He’s managed to make accurate observations as well as provide useful tools for working through past trauma/personal thoughts/goals.

Overall

Chris is by far the best therapist I have ever had. He makes me feel comfortable, and I feel like I can talk to him about absolutely anything. He always has great insight, and gives me new tools and techniques to move forward. I respect him, and trust his expertise. He is friendly and has a good sense of humor, which are both extremely important in making me feel comfortable. I hope to continue working with Chris as long as it’s possible.

Overall

I came to Christopher after having a not so great experience with the only other therapist I had ever talked to. He made me feel so comfortable opening up right away and would also help to guide the session so that it doesn’t get stuck or not go anywhere. As he said himself, he is very direct and to the point and does not want to waste anyone’s time. He will be honest with you and work with you to figure out what it best for your life.

Overall

Christopher was a great help in my first journey with therapy. His advice and wisdom was very beneficial in the time that I had being counseled by him. Wish I could’ve stuck with Better Help but due to some financial reasons I won’t be able to continue. But just wanted to leave this review as a big thanks to Christopher and I’ll carry his advice tips with me from now forward.

Though our schedules didn't line up to have a formal counseling session, Christopher was very pleasant and professional to communicate with.

Overall

Christopher is a wonderful help to me and my partner! He’s doing double the work with having to translate from Spanish to English but he’s doing fabulous and we love our sessions!

T.H.·May 12, 2020

Overall

Chris is practical, calm, and knows how to strike the right balance between challenging me to work on myself, and not giving me so much that it's overwhelming. I've been in therapy before, and he ranks right up there with the best therapists I've seen in person.
