Christian Golose is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in creating a safe, validating environment where teens and adults can address trauma, anxiety, and depression with compassionate guidance. His approach combines clinical expertise with spiritual sensitivity, offering clients the opportunity to explore their challenges through both psychological and faith-based perspectives when desired. Christian excels at building strong therapeutic relationships that provide the foundation for meaningful change, helping clients develop healthier ways to self-regulate and overcome obstacles.

His therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic techniques. This comprehensive framework allows him to address both immediate symptoms and underlying issues, connecting present difficulties with formative experiences. Christian's practice is uniquely educational—he supplements traditional talk therapy with structured psychoeducation, worksheets, homework assignments, and in-session activities that help clients develop practical skills while gaining deeper insights into their challenges. This approach is particularly effective for clients seeking active engagement and tangible tools for change.

With dual master's degrees—a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling Ministry—Christian brings a well-rounded perspective to his clinical work. This academic background has equipped him with both evidence-based psychological techniques and faith-informed approaches to healing. As an Associate MFT working under the supervision of Bibiana Castro, LMFT, he benefits from regular professional consultation that enhances his therapeutic effectiveness while ensuring high-quality care for his clients.

Outside the therapy room, Christian nurtures his creativity and faith through playing piano, singing, and serving his church as a youth leader, worship leader, and keyboardist. He enjoys exploring new places and traveling, experiences that inform his cultural sensitivity and relational flexibility. These personal pursuits reflect the balance and wholeness he helps clients discover in their own lives, demonstrating the integration of spiritual values, creative expression, and meaningful connection.
