Psychic Medium Chris Mcbrien reviews

I have been seeing Chris once or twice a year for about 4 years Bnow and it is always mind blowing how accurate and details his validations are about myself and my deceased father by him only asking me my father’s name. I always feel my father is speaking to me through him. I can say he is one of the very rare genuine psychics and I am so fortunate to find him. He is very caring and compassionate and I feel his advice comes from love to help people. He is very upfront and honest which I really appreciate and he always gives me hope and makes me assure that our loved one who passed away is still around us and watch over us.

Chris is wonderful! Easy to talk to. Blunt. A lot of what he said about my friend and myself were unbelievable. Things about us and out family and passed loved ones that weren't posted to social media or able to be found anywhere else as well as things we know were never spoken aloud to anyone. We are already talking about not only planning another visit four ourselves, but also gifting readings to some of our family and friends who could also use some healing or clarity. Thank you Chris!

What an amazing experience my sister and I had! Chris is AMAZING! The information, guidance and characterics he was able to connect us to, with no prior information, as well as the professionalism it was delivered with were beyond expectations!

 I recently lost my 14 year old son, my only child and I wanted to connect with him so badly. I cannot explain how correct he was and I truly feel he is extremely legitimate. I am new to this but I had seen another medium in person as well and it was ok, but once I had my reading with Chris I just felt like I got so much more information and I felt so comfortable that we were connecting with my son. It was truly amazing. I will be having another medium reading (with Chris) soon. My reading was via Zoom.

  I cannot say enough about the extraordinary experience I had with Chris McBrien. From the moment our session began, I felt an immediate sense of warmth, compassion, and authenticity. Chris has an incredible gift for creating a safe, welcoming space where you instantly feel comfortable opening your heart. What impressed me most was not just the accuracy of the insights Chris shared, but the gentle and thoughtful way they were delivered. The details were so specific and meaningful, it was clear there was no guesswork—only genuine connection. Chris brought through validations that were deeply personal, leaving no doubt that he was truly channeling messages beyond the ordinary. The guidance I received was both healing and empowering. Chris didn’t just deliver messages; he offered clarity, perspective, and encouragement in a way that felt profoundly uplifting. I left the session with not only peace of mind, but also a renewed sense of direction and hope for the future. Beyond his gifts as a medium, Chris shines as a compassionate human being. His kindness, integrity, and dedication to helping others truly set him apart. It’s rare to encounter someone with such a remarkable blend of spiritual insight and heartfelt care. If you are seeking genuine connection, healing, or reassurance from spirit, I wholeheartedly recommend medium Chris McBrien. He is not only an extraordinary psychic medium but also a light-filled soul who makes a lasting impact on everyone he meets.

Chris is hands down was the best psychic medium reading I have ever had. I was absolutely floored with the details he was able to give me about my dad (deceased), mom (alive), current health issues, my childhood home, etc.

He described my dad to a tee, down to his love of water and early drinking escapades. I have no doubt that he connected with my dad, which was so amazing. He described my childhood home being haunted-I never told him about that home and how scary it was or the things I experienced in it. He was able to describe the land between my house and my aunt, who lived next door, and how we would play in the field late at night. No way for him to know that. In my past life reading he told me I was a nun in a past life , which literally left me speechless. When I was a small child I was obsessed with wanting to be a nun when I grew up (no idea why) and was very drawn to religion.

I do not have social media so my information is not available publicly. I was shocked by the accuracy of the reading and validation. Chris was kind, thoughtful and sensitive when appropriate. He was also a lot of fun to talk to. He didn’t put on airs and was fun and animated during the reading. I have had many, many reading in life and the buck stops here. No need for me to look further, I’ve found the best one out there and plan to stick with him. Can’t recommend him enough!!!!

I recently had a reading with Chris ( 1/2 psychic medium, 1/2  Past Lives Reading) and I was floored by him! He was able to accurately describe my father (passed) down to the most minute details that would be impossible for him to know. I was honestly shocked by the small details he was able to describe. I do not have social media, therefore there is no personal information online that he could access. He accurately described health issues, my mother (alive) and other family members. Incredibly insightful! When he started talking about past lives (3) I was again floored. One life detailed serving in the Church. Blew my mind, since I was obsessed with wanting to be a nun as a small child, and very fixated on religion. He was able to pick up on my childhood house being haunted. I never mentioned it to him, he brought it up and was on the money with it! 

I found Chris to be the real deal. He was kind, respectful, gentle in approaching sensitive information and actually a lot of fun to talk to - pleasant, cheerful and animated. I have had many readings over the years and personally found Chris to be the best and most accurate medium and psychic I have come across. Without a doubt I will book with him again!

I had an in person Michael Archangel reading with Chris this week. This was my first time ever doing this and I was a bit skeptical. What an amazing experience and Chris was very compassionate. His guidance was spot on! I will definitely go back for more readings.

If I could give Chris more than 5 stars I would! Chris and I have met several times on Zoom. He is extremely gifted and his guidance is invaluable. He is the real deal! Chris has helped me in so many ways. We have had meetings involving Past Lives, Career Paths & Opportunities, Relationships and he has as a medium connected with both my grandparents and it was beyond my expectations to hear lovely messages from 2 people I loved and admired so much! When I am at a Crossroads, he is now one of the first people i think to speak to to receive clarity. He is so very in tune and very wise. His abilities and talents are remarkable. Words cannot really express the gratitude I have in my heart for the messages and information I have received in my meetings with Chris. I am so very grateful that a friend referred him to me a few years ago! I will meet with him again! Thank you Chris! Continued Love, Light  and many blessings to you and the amazing work that you do!

Chris always is able to make a connection with our son that brings us comfort. We've visited Chris a few times because what he tells us gives us peace. This time even additional details were shared about our son's grandparents that were described exactly who they were and they continue a relationship with our son! We can't say enough about our experience! Thank you Chris! Chris is no longer just a medium to us, he is more like family!

I have been to Chris 3 times. I had gifted a reading for 2 daughter and 1 for my husband's 75th birthday. Each reading with Chris was mind boggling! Mind you, each reading was booked under my name so Chris had no idea who was showing up. The first reading was for one of my daughters. Chris addressed what needed to be done. The followed his advice  and the situation has definitely gotten better. The second reading was with a different daughter. Chris spoke mostly with her grandmother  leading the reading about various subject pertaining to her business. Chris also had a message from her to me that needed to be acknowledged. Chris nailed my mother's signature style when she was younger and then again as she aged. He had one outfit down to the exact shade of color and embroidered design. This was just the tip of the iceberg with my daughters readings. The most mind boggling reading of them all was with my husband for his birthday. My husband has had a specific question about his father for decades. The question was answered after Chris had to call in one of his guides to get to the truth. That was extremely interesting to see happen. Chris astounded us both when he brought up the subject of my husbands brother and something unpleasant. The words that came out of Chris' mouth were a complete tongue twister that included the brothers name and what had happened. The situation was discussed and Chris relayed information to my husband that only his parents knew. Lastly, Chris brought up a subject only my husband and I have known about that happened in our home. We have told NO ONE about what has been happening so for Chris to address it out of the blue further confirms he is the real thing. Don't hesitate to book a reading with Chris. If you are able, book a cleansing also. They are very powerful and what happened to me while he cleansed my daughter and I at her reading is something I will never share. It was just for me, and I understood the second it happened.

Chris predicted our 3 year old and his gender months before we even got pregnant. My second reading he was able to predict I wouldn't lose my career as well as help I needed for depression. i didn't get help right away and my marriage temporarily fell apart as he predicted. I love that he is brutally honest and doesn't shy  away from the truth you need to hear. My 3rd reading he predicted my marriage would work out. He's able to pinpoint personality traits and issues you're having perfectly! Chris you probably know I'll be back the next time I need clarity!

I have had several medium sessions with Chris (with family and solo) exploring some of his abilities and gifts. I can honestly say that this is an experience that I feel everyone deserves to give themselves. I've had many readings elsewhere over the last 10 years and his skill is UNMATCHED. It is always wonderful, beautiful, therapeutic and absolutely magical experience. I can only imagine what a ripple effect his gifts have had and the peace provided to so many people. There is so much to be gained. I guarantee, as so many other reviewers have, that you will not regret it. 100% worth every second and penny. 5 Stars (Tripadvisor 12/8/22) 

I recently lost my husband and wanted to see if he could connect with him. I have used him in the past to connect with my parents and knew I trusted him. He is AMAZING. There were several issues that were discussed that no amount of searching my past would have found...the reason I know he has a special gift. These are intense sessions. Expect to cry and have an emotional encounter but trust that he will connect you with the person you ask him to find. 5 Stars (Tripadvisor 9/17/23)

My psychic medium session with Chris was nothing short of amazing! He connected  with me and my loved ones, sharing specific details about them. It was  wonderful to hear how they were doing, and Chris and they gave me advice  and life lessons that were helpful and illuminating. I also got relief  regarding some of my deep-seated anxieties. I can't say enough good  things about him! Thank you, Chris! 5 Stars (Tripadvisor 5/12/22) 

Chris has provided me with the most precious gift by connecting with my father. I lost my dad 10 months prior to our visit. My husband and I were enjoying a weekend away and just happened to be walking by his shop. Chris was able to provide many specific details that I didn't share and he had no way of knowing. I'm a believer now and I feel so much lighter! If you are in need of connection with a loved one who has passed on, Chris is the best person to go to! (Tripadvisor 9/13/23)
