Hey there, I’m Chris and I look forward to meeting you!
Are you feeling overwhelmed and it seems like everyone has advice to give but you don’t think they truly understand what you are saying or the extent of what you are experiencing? Do you feel unheard and misunderstood? In working with me, I want to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental environment; one, in which, you feel like somebody finally “gets it.” I believe in working with you as a teammate (yes, I love sports); we are in this together. I cannot do the work for you; I can be in there with you providing encouragement, tips and strategies, insight, and other perspectives.
I currently offer the following Online/Telehealth Services for individuals physically located in Pennsylvania, Florida, or South Carolina (at the time of service):

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Behavior Specialist (BSL), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and I was previously a Certified Child/Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP) in Pennsylvania with 21 years of professional experience working beside clients through coping with addictions, trauma/abuse, parenting issues, neurodivergence, work/life balance, relationship/attachment issues, family conflict, anger management, LGBTQIA+ stressors/transformation, child/adolescent stressors, and couples’ work.
I am now also a Registered Telehealth Provider in Florida and South Carolina!
Also, I have provided therapy in a variety of settings including inpatient drug/alcohol, state prison, community-based behavioral health (wraparound), and group private practice. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I have experience working with individuals (ages 3-93), couples, families, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am EMDR trained and use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Somatic, Parts Work, and Impact Therapy Strategies. I have been described as genuine, authentic, caring, helpful, and compassionate with a good sense of humor who isn’t afraid to occasionally “tell it like it is.” I look forward to working alongside you in your journey to be the best version of you!
I am not in network with insurance providers; however, that does not mean your insurance benefits cannot be utilized for our sessions.
I have partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits
Mentaya is perfect if you: • Have out-of-network benefits • Feel overwhelmed by superbills and insurance • Have submitted superbills but failed to get any reimbursement • Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
Here’s how it works: 1. Sign up for Mentaya 2. Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform. 3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up. 4. You get reimbursed by insurance!
Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, which includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.
It’s risk-free: They guarantee claims are successfully submitted, or a full refund of their fees.
How It Started: From “Too Much” to Therapy That Actually Gets You
I built the therapy I wish I had—because masking, overworking, and burning out aren’t a sustainable life plan
Prebble Counseling Services LLC was born out of frustration—with therapy that didn’t fit, systems that weren’t built for ADHD brains, and a mental health field that often misses the mark with trauma survivors and neurodivergent adults. I’ve been the high-achiever who couldn’t slow down, the people-pleaser who confused self-abandonment with love, the parent who couldn't get out of bed, the adult who always felt like they're failing, and the client who left sessions feeling unseen.
So I created something different: trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming therapy for adults who have always felt “too much” or “never enough.” This isn’t traditional therapy. It’s direct, honest, validating work that helps you heal from emotional survival mode and start living on your own terms—with tools that actually work for your brain.
I established my practice to continue supporting others on their journey while balancing the needs of my own family—as both a Mom and a Gigi. Because building a life that works for your nervous system also means honoring what matters most.
FAQ
Real answers to the questions you’re probably too overwhelmed, burned out, or frustrated to keep Googling.
Q: I’ve tried therapy before, but it didn’t really help. Why would this be different?
A: You’ve probably heard things like “suck it up,” “don’t be a sissy,” or “stop being so dramatic” more times than you can count. When you grow up in a system where emotions aren’t safe, you learn to survive one of two ways: blow up (because anger was allowed), or shut up and people-please (because staying small kept the peace).
If past therapy made you feel like the problem—or gave you surface-level tools that didn’t match how deep this stuff goes—no wonder it didn’t work. I get it. My approach honors the reality that you learned to survive in a system that made authenticity unsafe. We’ll work to build emotional range, not just emotional control—without judgment and without shame.
Q: Why do I either lash out or shut down when I’m overwhelmed?
A: Because that was your emotional roadmap. If anger was the only “acceptable” emotion—or if keeping everyone else happy was how you stayed safe—your nervous system is wired for fight, flight, freeze, faint, or fawn (all the F-words), not regulation.
Now, that shows up in your relationships: you snap when you don’t want to, shut down when you want to problem-solve, say "yes" when you want to say "no", stare like "a deer in headlights" when you want to find the words to express yourself, or disappear when you mean to speak up. That’s not a flaw—it’s a survival strategy that’s outlived its usefulness. In therapy, we untangle those patterns so you can respond—not just react.
Q: What does generational trauma have to do with ADHD and executive dysfunction?
A: Everything. If you were raised to believe that emotions were weakness, rest was laziness, and performance = worth, then it’s no surprise that burnout, over-functioning, and emotional overload are your baseline.
Add ADHD to that mix? Now you’ve got a brain that struggles with structure, paired with a lifetime of guilt for not doing it “right.” That’s why this therapy doesn’t just target symptoms—we address the system that shaped them.
Q: I feel guilty for wanting something different than what I grew up with. Is that normal?
A: Very. When your identity was built around being “the strong one,” “the fixer,” or “the easy kid,” choosing to heal can feel selfish—or even dangerous. But here’s the truth: breaking the cycle isn’t betrayal—it’s legacy work. You’re not failing your family by wanting more. You’re honoring them by doing what they couldn’t.
Q: I don’t know how to express what I’m feeling without shutting down or exploding. Can therapy help with that?
A: Absolutely. If you’ve only ever had two settings—rage or retreat, fix it or freeze—you’re not broken. You’re emotionally backed into a corner with no map. Therapy with me is about expanding that emotional range, creating space for nuance, and giving you tools that work for your actual brain, not some ideal version of who you were supposed to be.
