Christopher Schinler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I am passionate about supporting individuals in overcoming anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, and other obstacles in life. Having faced and overcome anxiety and depression myself, I can deeply empathize with those striving to reclaim the quality of life they are accustomed to. I find fulfillment in guiding clients to set meaningful goals, overcome internal and external obstacles, and enhance their overall quality of life. My experience includes providing individual, group, couples, and marriage counseling to people of all ages and backgrounds.
My clients describe me as easygoing, laid-back, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I use aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and goal-oriented therapy, to name a few. I am a musician, so I enjoy incorporating music, art, and other creative methods to help my clients find inspiration and connect with their thoughts and emotions.
I love working with people and become energized when I can assist clients in improving their quality of life. Together, we will get to the root of your negative thoughts, reestablish control of your emotions, change behavioral patterns, and set goals that can be achieved through weekly sessions. If you feel we can be a match, I hope to hear from you soon!

In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
When trauma strikes, it can dysregulate the autonomic nervous system, leading us to lose touch with our sense of well-being. In these moments, we might search for someone to blame, grappling with our identity. My sessions are a comeditation, where we jointly meditate on this journey, aiming to regulate these responses, allowing emotions to flow naturally, and helping you find your way back to your innate sense of self. Through a combination of talk therapy, somatic practices, IFS, and iRest Yoga Nidra, we'll peel back the layers of stress to reveal who you truly are. Monthly recovery and meditation groups are provided to enhance this journey of transformation.
