Chris Freeman-Clark

My communication style

I try hard to use active listening, reflecting back, and neutrality instead of judgment or criticism. I check in to see if I am being clear and am very open to any feedback or questions if I say something offensive or off-putting. My goal is to create a very honest, open, accepting, supportive therapy environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Volunteer work stirred my interest in counseling and social work. My clinical interests include violence risk assessment, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, cognitive behavior therapy, crisis intervention, and assessment and treatment of hoarding disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder.

My goals for you

Early on in therapy, we will work on identifying clear therapy goals. Ideally, goals will be clear, specific, attainable, measurable, and will have completion dates. The process of setting goals is back and forth but ultimately you have to be completely comfortable with your goals for success.

Our first session

Our first session will allow us to get to know each other, identify expectations and begin identifying therapy goals. You can express any worries or concerns and ask questions. We'll discuss your current situation, your background, and what brings you to therapy at this time.
