Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Sex addiction is arguably the biggest thing nobody talks about. Often times it goes unnoticed and therefore unaddressed. Sexual addiction is something that keeps us from the connection we know intrinsically we are made to experience. In our work together I help you get to the root issues that underly your sexual addiction so can experience the love, connection, and peace you are really after.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
When sexual behavior feels out of control or disconnected from values, it can harm relationships and self-esteem. I help clients examine the role sex is playing in their lives and develop healthier ways of managing desire, connection, and coping.

Chico is a north-state California city home to California State University Chico and the closest significant urban center to Paradise, the community almost entirely destroyed by the 2018 Camp Fire—the most destructive wildfire in California history—and the city's mental health landscape has been profoundly shaped by absorbing tens of thousands of Camp Fire survivors who relocated to Chico bringing acute wildfire trauma, grief, and the ongoing stress of rebuilding lives after catastrophic loss. Butte County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, and many local therapists have developed expertise in disaster trauma, environmental grief, and the specific mental health needs of displaced wildfire survivors. Chico State's counseling center serves the significant student population, and the university's presence gives the city a progressive character that supports an open attitude toward mental health support. Common therapy concerns include wildfire-related PTSD and grief, displacement and housing insecurity, student mental health, anxiety, and the long-term psychological impact of living in a region permanently changed by catastrophic fire.
