Today we’d like to introduce you to Christopher Times.
Hi Christopher, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I grew up in Houston, Texas and graduated from Houston Independent School District in 1987. After graduation I matriculated at Prairie View A&M University, University of Houston, Houston Graduate School of Theology, College of Biblical Studies Houston and Eastern Mennonite University. I graduated in 2005 from the College of Biblical Studies Houston and Eastern Mennonite University in 2016 with a Master of Arts in Counseling. After my Residency in Counseling, I returned to Houston and later opened Agape Marriage and Family Counseling, LLC. for the purpose of serving families and individuals in counseling. I also began a podcast called Agape Marriage and Family Counseling, LLC. and focus on three aspects of human growth and development, Body, Mind and Spirit. My goal is to educate and facilitate the developmental process of the individual through psychoeducation, skills building and spiritual development. I offer Master Classes in Anger Management (Emotion Regulation), Process Groups and specialized workshops.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Some struggles I have experienced are navigating the road regarding advertising costs and gathering the right set of business tools needed to drive clients toward my business. Networking has been a key aspect of this process.
We’ve been impressed with Agape Marriage and Family Counseling, LLC., but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At Agape Marriage and Family Counseling, LLC. we offer a holistic approach to counseling with “Unconditional Positive Regard” adopted from Dr. Carl Rogers’ Therapeutic Approach.
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness meditation has been known to not only create a sense of calm in the body but also relax and release built up anxiety, reducing the stress hormone, cortisol in the brain. This method has been recognized by psychotherapists worldwide for healing the body and resolving traumatic memories in the body.
