Chris Pierce, ACMHC, NCC
I am an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor. I’m passionate about empowering others to develop a self-reliant approach to mental health. I specialize in treating PTSD, sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, religious trauma, positive parenting, and relationship challenges. I work with clients of all ages, including couples, and take a holistic approach, emphasizing the importance of nutrition, exercise, and sleep hygiene as additional interventions on top of mental health treatment.
I received a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Southern Utah University, a master’s degree in Adult Education from Kansas State University, and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. I’m a retired Army officer who served 29 years in the Army and deployed on five combat deployments. I have personal experience with trauma and PTSD and can relate to many of the emotional difficulties I encounter with my clients.
I have been married for over 24 years and have five children. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, working out, camping, fishing, and hunting. I also enjoy writing and am the author of the self-care book Self-Health Andragogy: Self-Directed Learning Approach to Mental and Physical Self-Care
