By

Scarberry, Chris, MA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years experience working as a therapist and doing community-based crisis intervention. I have had my private practice for 13 years. In the past, I worked as a mobile outreach crisis counselor for 11 years (in addition to my practice) supporting clients who are in need of immediate assistance. I have experience treating grief and loss, sexual orientation/gender dysphoria-related concerns (I write letters for HRT and surgery), depression, substance abuse, trauma, and anxiety. I am specially trained in Prolonged Exposure Therapy, an evidence-based treatment for symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I perform couples, individual, and group counseling with diverse client populations, specializing in therapy with the LGBTQIA community and those living with HIV/AIDS. I take a body/sex-positive approach and am open and affirming of LGBTQIA identities, various relationship structures including polyamory/non-monogamy, and am kink aware. I have spoken at local and state-wide conferences on LGBTQIA+ concerns and have served on the HIV funding planning counsel. I am a prior volunteer with the Humane Society and grassroots homeless outreach. I am an avid music and theater enthusiast, reader, traveler, and animal lover.
