About Christopher
Christopher Standish is an LCSW with nine years of clinical experience. He holds social work licenses in California and New York and has worked in publicly funded mental health clinics and substance abuse treatment settings. He introduces himself in a straightforward, respectful way and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.
Christopher helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He often frames sessions around clear goals and next steps. He aims to hear each person’s story and tailor the conversation to what matters most to them.
His background includes work in community mental health and addiction treatment programs. That experience shaped his interest in motivation, impulse control, and relapse prevention. He draws on techniques that help people notice patterns and try new behaviors between sessions.
Christopher’s style is collaborative and goal-oriented. He listens first, then suggests strategies people can test in daily life. He also revisits those strategies to see what changed and what still feels hard.
Starting therapy with him begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability. He encourages small first steps and recognizes that asking for help takes courage.
