Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I think that when we're able to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are mirrors of our meanings and experiences, we're able to explore a bit deeper for what drives us and what we want to do with that information.

I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with experience in treating adults and children from the age of 6 and up. I treat conditions like Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anger/Impulse Control, ADHD, and Oppositional Defiance Disorder, etc. I look forward to meeting you and embarking on this journey towards healing.

I bring a warm, approachable, and genuinely caring presence to my work in psychiatry. I am goal-oriented and thoughtful in my clinical approach, working collaboratively with patients to help them achieve meaningful and sustainable progress in their mental health.
