Testimonials from Colleagues

“Chris has a way of connecting with people in a smooth yet genuine manner.  He has a natural approach to developing relationships and once these relationships are established, he is able to bring insight and positive movement into his therapy work.”

“I’ve known Chris as a student, then a supervisee and now a colleague. I’ve always found him to be genuine, compassionate and truly engaged with his clients. He has this wonderful ability to see issues from a much broader perspective and how families are impacted. His ability to think systemically and work with families as they make changes and deal with difficult issues is a gift.”

Judi Culver, MA, LPC/LMFT

“I have had the pleasure of working with Chris as a co-therapist when we worked together in 2012-2014.  He is a dedicated, genuine, ethical and honest therapist who cares about his clients.  I’ve observed his calm demeanor and patience with even the most resistant client, effectively joining with them in order to be of service.  I have collaborated with him and sought his counsel since our journeys have taken us down different paths.”

Meredith (Meri) Sullivan, LMFT

“I worked with Chris Sommerfield at a non-profit family and youth counseling center.  Chris was always very compassionate with his clients and supportive of their journey through treatment.  Chris has experience working through a variety of issues, such as parent-child conflict, marital problems, family dynamic issues, and many mental health diagnoses, such as depression, anxiety, and oppositional defiant disorder to name a few.  Chris was positive and reliable when running group therapy sessions for at-risk youth as well.  I would personally recommend Chris Sommerfield as a caring collaborator who puts your needs first.”
