As a counseling intern at Steeple, Chris Milburn offers a compassionate and thoughtful space where individuals can confront their struggles—not merely to alleviate their pain, but to cultivate lasting transformation and inner strength. With a passion for building trusting relationships, Chris believes in the power of authentic connection and the deep healing that can come from being truly seen and heard. His journey into the mental health field is rooted in his own experiences of receiving care, and he is now driven by the desire to extend that same support to others.
Originally from the area, Chris has always been drawn to helping others, and his experiences in counseling and ministry have shaped his approach to therapy. Having personally benefited from strong relationships with counselors and mentors, Chris understands the profound impact that wise guidance and empathy can have. These transformative experiences inspired him to pursue a career in therapy, where he can offer the same kind of support to others that helped him in his own journey.
Chris is particularly passionate about working with men, families, and married couples, though he remains open to working with a diverse range of clients. He is eager to help individuals navigate common challenges such as anxiety and depression, while also exploring more complex issues like PTSD, trauma, and sexual disorders. Through his work, Chris aims to foster an environment where clients can feel safe to explore their struggles and begin the process of healing.
Chris draws from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and narrative therapy, with a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship with each client. He views each person holistically, understanding that emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being are intricately connected. Through this lens, Chris helps individuals not only address the challenges they face but also grow in understanding their deeper identity and purpose.
With a heart for transformation and a commitment to walking alongside his clients, Chris is honored to support others on their journey toward healing, growth, and renewed hope.
