Hi I’m Chris, a Graduate Intern.
Chris Bonavita is a graduate intern at Duquesne, practicing under the supervision of Lily VanDyk, LCSW. As a new father and a professional with a background in service coordination at a nonprofit organization, Chris brings both personal insight and professional experience to his work with clients.
Chris is passionate about supporting men and male-identifying clients as they navigate life’s transitions, challenges, relationships, and expectations. He believes therapy can provide a space to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and develop a clearer path forward.
Chris brings a unique balance of logic and emotional awareness to each session. His approach is thoughtful, grounded, and collaborative, meeting clients where they are while helping them better understand themselves, their experiences, and the choices available to them.
