Chris Biddix

Hey, I’m Chris.

Hi, I’m Chris, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for active-duty military, veterans, law enforcement officers, first responders, and men navigating PTSD, relationship struggles, and the long-term impact of high-stress roles. I offer a steady, respectful space where you can slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and begin healing in a way that feels grounded and manageable.

Much of my work is with individuals who are used to pushing through, staying strong, and taking care of others—often at the cost of their own emotional well-being. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, collaborative, and paced with intention. My goal is to help you move out of survival mode and into greater clarity, regulation, and connection.

Whether you’re working through trauma related to service, struggling with substance use, or feeling emotionally shut down or overwhelmed, I’m here to walk alongside you with steadiness, respect, and care.

who I work with

• Active-duty military members and veterans

• Law enforcement officers and first responders

• Men navigating emotional shutdown, stress, or identity transitions

• Individuals in recovery from substance use or addiction

• Clients experiencing PTSD or co-occurring trauma and substance use concerns

I support clients who may feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You don’t have to carry it alone.

My background & approach

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina Central University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude from a CACREP-accredited program. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Counseling with a specialization in addiction and substance abuse.

My approach is attachment-based and trauma-informed, integrating EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and evidence-based addiction recovery strategies. I place strong emphasis on careful assessment, emotional safety, and pacing the work in a way that feels respectful and sustainable. Clients often describe me as calm, steady, and easy to talk to—especially during difficult or emotionally charged moments.

At the core of my work is the belief that healing is possible, even after years of carrying heavy experiences.
