Bantu Roots

LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally responsive, and spiritually integrated. I’m Christian Longue Dessug, also known as Coach Chris, founder of Bantu Roots Holistic Healing Center. I provide client-centered therapy, mental health coaching, relationship support, and personal development services for individuals and couples. My work is grounded in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy. Together, we explore the deeper roots of your emotions, relationship patterns, fears, coping strategies, and recurring challenges so you can understand not only what you do, but why you do it. Therapy with me helps you identify and unlearn patterns that may have once protected you but now limit your confidence, relationships, and emotional well-being. Through insight, emotional processing, nervous-system regulation, and intentional mental health repatterning, you learn healthier ways of responding to yourself, others, and life. My goal is not to control your choices or make you dependent on therapy. It is to help you develop greater self-awareness, emotional control, confidence, and flexibility so you can create lasting change and navigate future challenges with greater freedom. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and open to integrating spirituality when it supports the client’s healing and personal values.
