Chris Saxon

Chris Saxon, M.A., LPC, LAC  Chris has two decades of experience in mental health.  Chris began his counseling career working with at-risk youth and later worked in inpatient addiction treatment.  He also served as a clinical supervisor for a methadone clinical.  He has been with Balanced Mind Counseling since 2016.  He also  serves as clinical director of the agency, providing support and supervision to other therapists.

Chris’ passion is helping people as they struggle with life choices, changes, and experience. Chris tailors therapy to meet clients’ needs and offers cognitive behavioral, existential, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches.   

When life seems overwhelming, we often isolate ourselves and create destructive patterns to help us cope. These are short-term solutions which do not solve the problem in the long run. Counseling creates opportunities to move beyond survival and experience life and relationships more deeply.

Chris’ life experience includes living and teaching in Asia and working as a white water rafting guide. He has a master’s degree in philosophy and a master’s degree in counseling.
