About Chris DiDonna

You were made to be seen, witnessed, understood, and loved. My hope is that you experience all of those things and more as we meet together. 

Our past is always coloring our present and I believe that exploring the stories of our past can help us find a path towards healing. It’s not easy to name the harm from our past or the harm we have caused, but it’s a crucial part of the healing process that leads to freedom, wholeness, and thriving. 

Adam Young, a counselor I have learned a lot from, says it this way:  

“Counseling is about looking at how the story of your past is currently influencing the way you live your life.”

As your counselor, I will walk alongside you in a gentle and non-judgmental way as you express what you are struggling with, name harm you’ve experienced, and name harm you may have done to others. Neuroscience tells us that expressing ourselves in this way, in a safe relationship, heals our brain and our body. 

Inviting the Holy Spirit into our sessions is also an important part of my approach. Though I am trained in counseling skills backed by science, I believe that God’s love and kindness for you is a crucial part of your healing journey. 

I am passionate about blending proven counseling techniques from neuroscience with Christian counseling. God created our bodies and brain and he is constantly giving us clues through science and scripture on how we can work with him to find the healing we need.
