Professional statement

Dr. Christopher Waters is a clinical psychologist who provides online counseling and psychological assessments to people looking to make profound changes in their lives. Often counseling mostly consists of the counselor listening, validating, educating, and offering advice. However, Dr. Waters uses psychological treatments that seek to go deeper and create more lasting growth. Thus, he provides treatments such as EMDR that help free people from longstanding traumas that have held them back. He uses Gestalt Therapy to help people identify their inner conflicts and overcome self-sabotage. He practices techniques from IFS Therapy to help people heal the most vulnerable and wound parts of themselves. Or, he offers hypnotherapy to help people overcome long-held habits and fears. Dr. Waters has a variety of tools to help people "dig deep" into their challenging areas and grow wonderfully in their strengths.

Message to clients

Hello!

I am excited to meet you and understand your goals for therapy. I like to start our first session by getting to know each other, and then I do my best to complete a full psychological assessment during the first session. I try to get a sense of your symptoms, relationships, and history. I use all of this information to create a treatment plan tailored specifically for your goals and needs. I try to give you a snapshot of the types of counseling that may help you by the end of the first session. I really want you to feel heard and to have a sense of what working with me will be like within the first session.

My hope is that by the second session we can dive deeply into counseling to get you on the road to healing and growth!

Please message me with any questions and I will do my best to get back to you quickly. I am even willing to do a free 15 minute phone consultation to answer any additional questions.

I hope to see you soon,

Dr. Waters
