Hello, I am Chris Putnam, founder of HiveZen Family Therapy, and I am here to support you through your challenges with empathy and understanding. As a complex trauma therapist, I have dedicated my practice to creating a safe, nurturing space where individuals facing interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss can find solace and healing. My trauma-informed approach prioritizes your safety and comfort above all, recognizing that opening up about deeply personal experiences can feel overwhelming. Rest assured, this is a judgment-free zone, where you can express yourself openly and honestly, free from any criticism or scrutiny. My commitment is to provide a compassionate environment where you feel truly seen and validated; together, we will navigate the complexities of your journey, building resilience and growth along the way. Thank you for trusting me to accompany you on this path toward healing.

Master of Arts - Marriage and Family Therapy, Specialization in Child and Adolescent Family Therapy - National University

I offer therapy for Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Loss, Interpersonal Difficulties, Complex Trauma, Low Self-Esteem, Maladaptive Behaviors in Children and Adolescents, Conflict Resolution in Couples and Families, Intimacy Issues in Relationships, Parenting Challenges and Family Dynamics, Self-Harm, Suicide Ideation, and more.

As a NARM Therapist in training, I specialize in providing trauma-informed individual and family therapy that fosters healing and resilience. My practice emphasizes a safe, judgment-free environment where clients facing interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss can openly explore their experiences. Drawing from approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), I focus on uncovering root causes rather than merely treating symptoms, guiding individuals, couples, families, and children toward a balanced, harmonious lives.
