Welcome. I’m happy to see you here.

Chris Byers, CSWA
Clinical Social Worker Associate
I am Chris, a Clinical Social Worker Associate.
You’re not broken. You’re not too much. You’re not doing life wrong, you’re just doing your best in a world that wasn’t built with your brain, identity, or experience in mind. Maybe you’re exhausted from masking all day. Maybe you’re dealing with anxiety, burnout, trauma, addiction, or just trying to make sense of who you are and what you need. If you’ve felt like traditional therapy spaces haven’t really gotten you, you’re not alone.
Hi, I’m Chris, a CSWA, a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, a Certified Anxiety-Informed Professional, a CADC, I, and a Certified Recovery Mentor. I’m also a person in recovery from addiction and a neurodivergent queer clinician. I work primarily with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks, because I’m part of that community too, and I know how powerful it is to sit with someone who really sees you.
Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and affirming. I’m not here to pathologize your humanity, I’m here to support your healing, growth, and self-trust. I bring a mix of professional training and lived experience, which means we can get into the real stuff without the clinical distance that makes therapy feel cold or scripted. We’ll work together to unlearn what’s not serving you and build a life that actually fits you, not some neurotypical or heteronormative checklist.
If you’re tired of trying to make yourself smaller to fit into the world, I see you. You deserve support that meets you where you are. If any of this resonates, let’s talk.
