Joe Whitcomb is a man of great compassion and wisdom. He was a light during a very dark time in my life. I am truly grateful for his counsel. He was a Gosend.

Ive really enjoyed having Chris as my counselor. Hes easy to talk to, yet also asks challenging questions that keep me thinking after the session, prompting me to be consciously aware of how I handle difficult situations and circumstances. Counseling isnt easy, as often times it requires ME to do work that Ive not wanted to (or even known I should) do, but with Chris guidance, Ive found it to be very beneficial both in the short and long term. Highly recommend.

Chris is a compassionate yet tireless advocate for mental health especially when it comes to men dealing with shame, secrecy, and/or addictions of any type. In addition, his faith and Christian maturity struck me as genuine, honest, and inviting.

Chris has been my counselor for the last 4.5 years. I first went to him to help me as I going through a separation and then divorce. He really helped me to focus on my own issues and working on those. He uses many different techniques to help both himself and his clients understand the isues including giving specific books to read as well as deeper personality tests which help him be more effective. He is easy to talk to, follows up when he says he will and always has different great ideas to be tried. Even though he has moved to San Diego I will be keeping up my sessions with him due to how effective I have found him to be.

I have been seeing Chris for nearly 3 years. Working with him has been really helpful, and I appreciate his ability to both hear me and be compassionate as well as challenge me and bring much needed grounding and truth to each session. I also really enjoyed how he balances scripture and theological truth with the brain science to our sessions.

When my husband and I were first dating we started to have some issues come up that we needed extra help with. Joe Whitcomb was so amazing in getting to the root of our problem and we have now been able to connect on a deeper level. We have been married for 1.5 years and we still use the tools we learned from Joe years later!

I have not been to San Diego Christian Counseling, but I listen to Joe Whitcomb’s Reboot Your Relationship podcast. I recommend it to all of my clients who are in relationships, have experienced trauma, and/or had difficult childhoods. My clients have responded they find his podcasts extremely relatable. He says it ‘how it is’, explains psychological concepts in laymen’s terms, is relatable, but more importantly, instills hope that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel and change is possible. A definite “must listen to” for single people and couples alike!

Due to a very unfortunate trauma I really struggled with expressing my emotions and sleeping! I went through the darkest times I had ever been through!
