Hello! My name is Christopher Stevens and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Associate here at L&B Counseling. I am originally from Springfield, Illinois and I earned my Bachelors in Psychology and my Masters in Human Development Counseling from the University of Illinois at Springfield.

In my free time I love to read and visit local bookstores as well as coffee shops, bakeries, and cat cafes. I also enjoy getting outside and finding new running trails and nature parks in and around the Indian Land/Fort Mill area. When I am not working or running outside I am spending time with my orange cat named Tabby.

I strive to create a safe, accepting, and non-judgemental environment for you to understand who you are, how you can grow, and to find your unique meaning and purpose. I work to foster self-acceptance and a growth mindset to live the life you want and become the best version of yourself.

I incorporate several styles in my therapeutic approach including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and person-centered therapy. Ultimately, it is my hope we can find the most effective way of understanding and treating the areas where you are stuck. 

Therapy is an exciting journey of self-exploration, growth, and healing. I am ready to walk alongside you on this journey and I look forward to getting started.
