Chris Gomberg, LMFT, CPRC

More than 40 years sitting with people through life's transitions — now focused on the one nobody warns you about.

California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT 16870) · Certified Professional Retirement Coach
Chris Gomberg in his office
40+ years experience

More than 40 years as a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Certified Professional Retirement Coach. Workshop leader for healthcare organizations, manufacturing, financial institutions, and benefits teams across Southern California.

Chris spent his clinical career inside some of the country's most demanding institutions — decades of work that taught him one thing above all: transitions are survivable, and they are designable. Retirement is the largest voluntary transition most adults will ever make, and almost no one prepares for the part that isn't about money.

Why "Next Chapter"? Because a retirement life can hold many chapters over a 10, 20, or 30-year span — each one an act of strategy, planning, exploration, reinvention, and appraisal. Chris's coaching helps you write your Next Chapters deliberately instead of drifting into them.
