Who I Am Professionally Affiliated With
Why I Choose to Accept Insurance
I choose to partner with insurance networks because I want therapy to be as accessible and affordable as possible. Mental health care can be expensive, and accepting insurance reduces the financial barrier for people who need support.

About author
Christopher Batalon
My name is Christopher Batalon—you can call me Chris. I am a fully licensed mental health therapist who specializes in depression, anxiety, men’s issues, identity issues, and multi-cultural issues. Although these are my specialties, the biggest measure of success in therapy when dealing with any issue, is trust and connection. If you have a therapist that you do not connect with, the change process can feel nonexistent. Connection can come in various forms. For instance, you share an area of the U.S. where you live and speak the same cultural language, or the person you are sitting across from simply looks like you. Whatever the case may be, a powerful connection is representation, and working with someone that you feel a strong connection with will greatly elevate the therapeutic process.
