Trauma

Boundary Setting

Anxiety

Christian Golose is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps adults who feel overwhelmed by life's demands, persistent stress, and anxious thinking. He creates a supportive, validating space where clients can feel genuinely understood, gain clarity about what they are carrying, and build the tools to move through challenges with greater confidence and resilience. His work centers on anxiety, trauma, and the often difficult skill of setting boundaries and speaking up for oneself.

His therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic techniques. This combination allows him to address immediate symptoms while also exploring the deeper patterns and formative experiences underneath them. Christian's practice is distinctly educational: he supplements traditional talk therapy with structured psychoeducation, handouts, homework, and in-session activities that help clients develop practical skills alongside deeper insight. He believes therapy works best when clients leave a session with something they can actually use during the week ahead.

Christian holds dual master's degrees, a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling Ministry, giving him a foundation in both clinical and integrative approaches to mental health care. For clients who want it, he can hold both the psychological and the spiritual dimensions of healing in the same room, attending to faith as a meaningful part of the work rather than something set aside at the door. For clients who prefer a strictly clinical focus, that is equally welcome.

Outside the therapy room, Christian expresses his creativity through music, whether playing piano, singing, or serving his church as a worship leader and keyboardist. He also draws portraits and takes photographs, and he loves traveling, hiking, and exploring new places. His love of faith, music, art, and connection reflects a belief he brings into his clinical work: growth happens when we make space for joy, meaningful relationships, and the experiences that shape who we are.

  • Christian blends talk therapy with structured psychoeducation, using handouts, homework, and interactive activities so clients build concrete, transferable skills rather than insight alone.

  • His dual training in counseling psychology and counseling ministry lets him address both clinical concerns and the spiritual dimensions of healing when that matters to a client's values.

  • He is skilled at helping anxious, overextended adults learn to set boundaries and advocate for themselves, work that often changes how clients relate to everyone around them.
