About Cris
Hi!
My name is Cristobal (Cris) and I am a Registered Psychotherapist, offering services in English and Spanish for adults and young adults. I am a family man and father who grew up in East York and is originally from Chile. I have 17 years of experience counselling individuals and groups in a Toronto hospital setting, and I am passionate about helping people build the skills and self-understanding they need to move forward.
My approach blends elements of CBT, DBT, and mindful self-compassion within a trauma-informed and person-centered structure. My areas of focus include substance use, trauma, emotions, anxiety, trust, and self-esteem. I use a curious and empathetic approach with my clients to help them manage their thoughts and feelings while validating the difficult life experiences that have brought them into therapy. I also aim to empower my clients so they can prioritize themselves, improve their relationships and feel more confident.
Therapeutic outcomes will often hinge on the quality of the client-therapist relationship, so I encourage you to book a free consultation with me to find out if we are a good fit to work together. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing how we can build something special!
