Chris Clan

Choosing the right speaker means finding someone who combines professional expertise with authentic real-world experience. As a Trauma Recovery Therapist and Mental Health Professional, I bring years of clinical practice, advanced training in trauma-focused therapies, and a compassionate, client-centered perspective to every presentation. My background includes specialized work with PTSD and complex trauma through evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I have supported individuals across multiple settings, including child advocacy centers, residential programs, and outpatient mental health services, giving me a broad understanding of the challenges people face throughout the healing process. In addition to my counseling experience, I have served as a Christian ministry leader, educator, worship musician, and community volunteer. These experiences allow me to connect with diverse audiences through engaging, practical, and encouraging presentations that emphasize resilience, hope, and personal growth. Whether speaking to mental health professionals, educators, faith-based organizations, or community groups, I strive to deliver thoughtful insights that inspire meaningful conversations and provide actionable strategies for supporting emotional well-being and recovery.
