Chris Schrimscher MS, LC

   I have experience in working with a diverse span of mental health conditions through my experiences in community mental health and private specialty clinics. I have found that I work particularly well with clients struggling with complex diagnoses and behaviors, including Bipolar Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Self-Harm, and Dissociative Disorders. I believe that all individuals can benefit from therapy and have a particular passion for working with clients who identify within the LGBTQ community, as well as adolescents, families, and young adults.

Life can be full of challenges; sometimes, we need someone to talk to to feel like ourselves again. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe in providing each of my clients with a nonjudgmental stance, empathy, and a caring attitude through their most challenging moments.

My clinical approach is both person-centered and behavioral. As such, all clients are doing the best that they can with the skills that they have, and they can benefit from learning additional skills to implement between sessions. I believe there is an excellent benefit to processing together in therapy and learning and trying skills in our everyday lives. If you are looking for a therapist passionate about discussing the “tough stuff” in life, consider me a therapist.  I recognize that therapy can be challenging at times, and I hope we can work together to make changes in your life at a comfortable and practical pace. I would love to chat and see if I would be a good fit for you!
