A Path Built From Experience

Before becoming a therapist, Chris Givler served in pastoral ministry, education, caregiving, and entrepreneurship. Practicing since 2012, he founded Evergreen & Bridges Counseling on the belief that it's never too late to begin doing what's right or healthy, creating a grounded, judgment-free space for growth.

Focused, Specialized Care

I focus on the areas where I can provide the greatest value, including couples counseling, premarital counseling, ADHD support, grief, anxiety, and depression.

A Systems-Based Perspective

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I look at not only behavior and insight but also how your patterns of interaction with family, friends, and others relate to the problem.
