Christopher Pike, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christopher!

I am a dedicated therapist focusing on developing coping skills and utilizing natural strengths to achieve manageable goals. My experience includes working with individuals and groups across diverse challenges.

My focus

I work with individuals of all ages, including at-risk youth, on a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, and the effects of abuse. I also offer therapy for couples looking to strengthen their relationship.

My approach

I take an eclectic approach to psychotherapy, drawing from cognitive, emotional, and motivational psychology techniques. This allows me to tailor my treatment to each client's unique needs and challenges.

My communication style

My communication style is warm and empathetic. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. I am fluent in both English and Portuguese.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep desire to help others overcome challenges and lead fulfilling lives. Through extensive clinical experience, I have honed my skills in evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to navigate life's ups and downs with greater resilience and self-awareness. Together, we will work to identify your strengths, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and create positive changes in your life.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship. I will listen attentively to your story, ask questions to understand your perspective better, and collaboratively set goals for our work together.
