Chris Wilhoite MS, LMFT-S, CST, C-PST Founder, Certified Sex Therapist, Certified Psychosexual Therapist, Couple’s Therapist, AAMFT Approved Supervisor in training

Chris Wilhoite, the founder of Littleton Couples Counseling, says, “Every conversation with every client and colleague has elements to learn from. As I grow and find strengths in myself I model positive growth for others. I strive to be open-minded when working with clients and colleagues while holding them accountable to their own frameworks of authenticity. I have a belief in people and their ability to become the person, couple, and family that they desire to be. Sometimes this will be the first time they have ever had someone believe in them. When I lost my husband to cancer in 2006, I made a commitment to myself that I would do all that was in my power to help couples build healthy relationships. I believe that healthy couples and families create healthy communities.”
