Christine Perry, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christine!

I believe treatment should be as unique as each individual; my approach is very client/person-centered and strength-based. This gives us the opportunity to utilize your needs to create a space in which you can heal and grow.

My focus

I have experience working with young children, adolescents, adults, families, and caregivers with concerns ranging from stage of life to severe impairment of daily life. I have experience with crisis, eating disorders, mood disorders, relational issues, maladaptive coping skills, addiction, and life adjustment disorders.

My approach

Throughout my clinical experience, I’ve utilized a variety of techniques that are based on both interpersonal and person-centered. For me, this means that we work from the perspective that each individual has the answers they need. During treatment, we will utilize Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (among others, as needed).

My communication style

My presence in therapy is empathetic, present, and caring with a dash of humor as appropriate. Depending on the stage of treatment, I can be your cheerleader, your hope holder, or step up and be a guide for the next positive transition in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I found myself entering into this profession because I find myself in awe of the strength and enormous bravery of those grappling with life issues, myself included. It takes courage to enter a room and share your struggles and to trust the person sitting across from you while you enter into your healing phase. I will forever honor that.

My goals for you

During sessions, you can expect to explore your concerns, identify your needs, and work collaboratively in setting goals if needed; otherwise, be a listening ear to help you process.

Our first session

During our first session, we will spend time setting the expectations for therapy, completing administrative tasks, listening to your story, and getting to know each other.
