I'm Chris Platania, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Charlottesville, Virginia. I specialize in supporting first responders, veterans, and individuals navigating life's toughest challenges.
Personalized support tailored to your needs.
One-on-one sessions focused on your unique experiences. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, we'll work together at your pace.
Specialized support for firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, and dispatchers. I understand the unique stressors of the job and provide a judgment-free space to process what you carry.
Facilitated group sessions where shared experience becomes shared strength. Connect with others who understand what you're going through in a safe, confidential setting.
Guidance for organizations looking to support the mental health and resilience of their teams. I work with agencies to develop wellness programs and critical incident response plans.
I believe that asking for help is one of the bravest things a person can do. My approach is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practices, and a deep respect for each person's unique journey.
I have a particular passion for working with first responders and those in high-stress professions. I understand that the people who take care of everyone else often struggle to take care of themselves — and I'm here to help change that.
Whether you're navigating a crisis, working through past trauma, or simply looking for someone to talk to, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
