Old Christopher, MFT

Specialties

Mountain Mental Health is the therapy practice of Christopher Old, MFT, LPC, NCC. I specialize in using counseling to help people to create the healthy lives they desire and deserve. The process begins by identifying your unique goals, such as feeling differently, improving a relationship or changing a behavior. A plan is then created to take action and create postive change. As your counselor, I works collaboratively with you to achieve success. I also recognizes the uniqueness of each individual and therefore use a variety of current, well researched, therapy techniques to help you in the way that is the best fit for you and your goals. When working with me, you can expect a warm, caring and professional environment that creates a safe place for you to explore new ideas and work toward achieving your goals.
