About Counseling
Counseling does not mean you’re a failure, or that you’re unable to deal with your issues. Everybody had to learn to walk by repeatedly falling, right? And when you scraped your knee, there was a bandage applied. Counseling is a bandage for the brain.

Meet our Provider, Chris Cole
I decided to become a counselor at SIPH for people who don’t have easy access to health care. I understand the discrimination of those seeking mental health help in rural areas. I am a licensed professional counselor and certified school counselor. My goal is to help you gain skills and knowledge for your life. As you do, my hope is you’ll know what your favorite version of yourself looks like, and you’ll have grace to understand you can’t be that person all the time. We welcome people of all ages! Please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment at 208.233.9080 if you feel you need a little extra support!
