Chris Sherwood

Staff Counselor

Chris Sherwood is an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with more than 12 years of experience supporting adolescents and young adults in both clinical and nonprofit settings. His background includes social services work with Covenant House of Georgia and ministry leadership with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). He holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University.

Chris works with adolescents (ages 10 and up), adults, and couples navigating a range of concerns, including trauma (PTSD and complex trauma), anxiety, depression, relational challenges, burnout, athlete identity, family transitions, and major life changes.

His clinical approach is rooted in attachment-based and relational psychodynamic therapy, integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). He works collaboratively with clients to explore emotional and relational patterns while building practical tools for regulation, resilience, and values-based living.

Chris incorporates Christian contemplative practices—such as prayer, reflection, and mindfulness—as part of the counseling process when it is meaningful to the client. This integration is always shaped by clinical best practices and the client’s preferences.

Chris is committed to creating a steady, authentic therapeutic environment where clients feel respected and supported as they pursue greater self-awareness, healing, and connection.
