About

Meet Dr. Nahumck – Clinical Psychologist in Sierra Madre, California

I’m Dr. Christopher Nahumck, a licensed clinical psychologist offering therapy in person in Sierra Madre, CA and virtually. I specialize in helping adults, adolescents, and couples navigate the inner terrain of anxiety, depression, grief, men’s issues, and life transitions.

If you’re searching for a therapist who will engage you with depth, empathy, and honesty—I’m here to walk with you.

A Deeply Grounded Path to Clinical Work

My journey into this work has been both personal and professional. I began in Chicago, earning a Master of Social Work from Loyola University and a Master of Divinity from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. I later earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena.

Since 2005, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients across different stages of life, backgrounds, and belief systems. I’ve seen how transformative therapy can be when a person feels truly seen and known—without shame, pressure, or pretense.

Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions—and Men’s Issues

Whether you're facing overwhelming anxiety, the ache of loss, or questions about your identity and direction, therapy offers a space to explore what's underneath—and begin building what comes next.

I also work extensively with men who are wrestling with identity, fatherhood, emotional isolation, anger, or the pressure to “hold it all together.” Men's therapy can help you shed outdated expectations and reconnect with a life that feels meaningful, grounded, and true to who you really are.

You might find therapy helpful if you’re experiencing:

• Persistent sadness or emotional numbness
• Anxiety or overthinking that keeps you stuck
• Disconnection from your partner, your purpose, or yourself
• Life transitions that leave you questioning everything
• Grief or unresolved pain
• Feeling like you’re carrying the weight of everyone else’s expectations
• Struggles around masculinity, vulnerability, or fatherhood

What Therapy Looks Like

Sessions are typically 50 minutes, held weekly in-person at my Sierra Madre office or virtually for California residents. This rhythm helps build real momentum and insight over time. During particularly stressful seasons, we can meet more frequently to provide added support.

My approach is relational, grounded, and collaborative. I work with you to uncover what’s been hidden or hardened, and to reawaken the parts of you that are alive, capable, and deeply human.

A Life That’s Authentic, Abundant, and Your Own

Therapy is not quick work—but it’s meaningful. It’s for those who want more from life than survival. Who want to live with greater connection, courage, and self-understanding.

If you’re ready to begin therapy in Sierra Madre or anywhere in California, I’d be honored to work with you.
