Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Christopher Kouroyen, LMHC/LCMHC
Clinical Consultant & Co-owner of The Therapy People PLLC
Chris’ clinical approach is to build a therapeutic alliance with his clients through meeting them where they are at, as approaching therapy can be an intimidating endeavor. He creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can process their presenting problems at a comfortable pace through a person-centered, strength-based lens. A session with Chris will be tailored individually to the client’s needs and feel more like a free-flowing conversation than a doctor’s visit.
