Christopher Wlaschin

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

Humans need to belong unconditionally without expectations, to love and be loved. Many of us have internal pain that complicates our relationship with ourselves, our family and friends, and others. As a therapist, Christopher understands how these past wounds can surface in everyday life, get in our way, and trip us up. He's a passionate, authentic, and skillful therapist, eager to help others mend, reconnect, and build healthy boundaries guided by his healing journey.

Christopher's approach is person-centered, relational, and direct, dedicated to working cross-culturally and with differing gender expressions as an anti-oppression practitioner. With two decades of mental health experience, he takes an integrative approach. He utilizes multiple therapeutic models curated to a client's unique experiences, considering what the mind, body, and spirit need to heal. For instance, when working with clients suffering from trauma, Christopher may utilize developmental theory, internal family systems, Buddhist psychology, trauma theory, body-focused psychotherapy, and psychoeducation. For neurodivergent clients, he may consider how a social justice lens could enhance therapy. His professional interests focus on people experiencing developmental and complex trauma, and meditation, mindfulness, and creativity also influence his practice.

In addition to private practice, Christopher enjoys live music, art, and gardening. He's a dedicated bike commuter who advocates for just, equitable, multimodal transportation systems accessible to all.
