Christopher Mahoney

My communication style

I create a calming and safe environment that allows for openness. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship created with non-judgment, unconditional positive regard, and being person and emotion-centered in processing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am passionate about reducing the stigmatization of mental health challenges while honoring cultural and diversity realities. I believe that unconditional positive regard, a humanistic framework, and a strong therapeutic alliance are the most important agents of change.

My goals for you

I encourage you to be open to trying new strategies and continuing to be curious in the problem-solving process until reaching desired outcomes. Goals are set collaboratively to find solutions that you believe in and are comfortable exploring.

Our first session

The first session is intended to identify your needs, challenges, and current strategies. Identifying strengths, weaknesses, and preferences is important. The initial session helps you understand the therapeutic process and expand your understanding of factors for starting therapy.
