Great to meet you!

My name is Chris Minassian, I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I have been a therapist for 14 years, and I teach classes as a professor. I am trained in EMDR as well as Brainspotting and love to help my clients reach their full potential. I will provide a safe and comfortable environment where you can successfully navigate your daily stressors, turn bad habits into good ones, and conquer your anxiety and fears to take control of your own happiness.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that therapy is more than just talking and I will work with you to develop habits and set tangible goals to achieve success. With my eclectic approach for customized care, we will work together to incorporate actions, thought processes, and exercises. I will help you to become a well rounded person. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, relationships, family issues, life transitions, alcohol and substance use disorder.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy can be for everyone, but sometimes it's difficult to share innermost thoughts with a stranger. Choosing the right therapist can be difficult, however I pride myself on the ability to easily develop a warm rapport and build a therapeutic relationship for a successful journey together. We will work together to reach the goals that you want to achieve.
