Christopher Carney, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christopher!

Thank you for starting your journey for a better you! I've worked with a variety of clients, including those who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship and/or attachment issues. I've worked with adults and children and believe that a transparent, genuine, and direct approach works best with my clients.

My focus

I have worked with adolescents, teens, and adults who have been treated for trauma, depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. At this time, however, I am accepting adult clients.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is based on each client's need; however, I feel that a Cognitive Behavioral and Family Systems approach works with most clients. I do attachment and trauma work and can assist clients with anxiety with exposure therapy.

My communication style

I believe in clear and honest communication and expect the same from my clients. The therapeutic relationship and trust are one that requires honesty, transparency, and a basic level of communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field because I believe in the power of connection and healing. Supporting people through their challenges and witnessing their growth has been deeply meaningful work.

My goals for you

Goals in treatment are established after an assessment has been completed that provides a conceptualization of the case. Goals are established through collaboration with each client and are based on symptoms and behaviors that, in some manner, impair the client.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions to understand your concerns and goals, and we'll begin building a foundation of trust and collaboration.
