Excellent Job

Written on Mar 24, 2025 after therapy with Christopher for 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, and coaching

Before I went to Christopher, I tried many therapists, but they weren't for me. There is just something about Chris's confidence and communication that hits the sweet spot. I feel heard, seen, and that he's able to break my problems into the reasons why as well as giving me tools for overcoming them. The best example being one that had stuck made me for a while. In just a single session, we were able to break this belief and re wire my brain instantly. I can't wait to work more with him.

Definitely the type of therapist I needed: someone who is respectful and laid back but gives me good advice and gives back whatever I put in.

Christopher is absolutely the best! I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to assist me and coach me in the grieving process of loosing my dad and helping me build my self confidence. Super laid back and easy to talk to.

So far Chris has listened with understanding and compassion. He's great at keeping things relevant and on topic. He understands our needs and is happy to talk about them. Nothing seems too big or little for discussion. My husband seems to be able to talk to him and he gets him talking which is great. So far, so good!!

Christoper Branch was the therapist I needed when I needed one the most. I had severe relationship issues and they were effecting my health, work and family relationships. It’s the hardest time I have experienced, and I put a lot of blame on myself. Christopher helped me navigate and reason with my self. He helped me avoid my negative tendencies, and see where I tried the best I could.

I’m forever grateful.

He’s someone I can rely upon to be honest with me even when it hurts sometimes but it’s allowed me to receive the best help and keep me level headed during certain situations. I don’t feel alone when I’m talking to him. As if he’s along side me while I’m going through life changes or when my minds not in the right place. He’s really a great person and someone I’m glad to be my therapist

Christopher really listened to our needs as a couple and really helped us to set achievable goals. Not only that but he also gave us the tools we need to listen to each other and build a healthy relationship. We also know if/when we need Christopher he’s just at the end of the phone.

Written on Jul 11, 2023 after therapy with Christopher for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

Christopher is just a good guy. He's easy to connect with, I don't feel like I'm judged even when making decisions that might not be for me. It's more of a discussion on the thought process that brought me to those choices. I really appreciate that it feels like I'm talking to just another understanding human and not someone who is just paid to listen. I truly feel like he has my best interests at heart and it feels good to know that someone does, even if it's not myself. Having someone to discuss things with has been monumental helpful for what I am going through and I deeply respect and appreciate the time he takes to allow me to vent or process along side him.

Written on Jul 11, 2023 after therapy with Christopher for 1 month on issues concerning relationship

Christopher is down-to-earth and pragmatic. My (Male) partner in particular finds him very easy to open up to, as he was always very reluctant to engage with counselling previously, this has been a great breakthrough. Chris is very professional and clearly knowledgeable. We look forward to our sessions and come away feeling extremely positive about the future.

Mr. Branch is the first Mental Health Professional that gave me actionable advice I could use to help better myself and my thought process. I think that is invaluable when someone is seeking help to better themselves through teen counseling.
Mr. Branch is does not speak formally and I think that makes him more relatable as opposed to different mental help professionals. I like that he gives you homework to work on for yourself that helps you dig into your own life to see when you can and/or should make adjustments.

I would definitely recommend teen counseling to other who need and ask for help. Then, I would specifically recommend Christopher Branch because of the way that he works and communicates.
