The interesting thing about a pandemic is that it forces us to approach life differently. It gives us new perspective, encourages us to reevaluate our priorities, and causes us to approach relationships in new ways. We are all trying to figure this out together. Whatever rules we thought applied before are likely irrelevant, so what are the next steps that we take? What kind of life do you want to live? What kind of future do you want to plan for? If you want to grieve, that is okay too. Therapy is meant to be a safe space to process, learn, and grow.

"Unleash your potential, learn new skills to take strides in creating the life you deserve and desire." Therapy reflects growth. It starts with courage and a desire for change. Seeking help from a Psychologist begins with a decision to move beyond barriers and the confines of the past. It's about the desire to move forward and grow in order to reach your goals and fullest potential. I will help you develop solutions, new understandings, self-acceptance, ways of thinking and strategies that open you to deeper change and a more fulfilling life. My commitment is to all groups of people.

I have been trained in existential/humanistic psychotherapy - with an extensive background in Gestalt Therapy. I am interested in the fit between the person and his/her community/environment...believing that we co-create who we are and how we function. It is my belief that it is a fundamental human need to belong and that an individual's failure to belong - just as he/she is - is at the root of many if not all of our current ills.

My clinical approach is based on Solution-Focused Short-Term Therapy. I believe strongly that each client comes to therapy equipped with the inherent strengths and abilities necessary to uncover and implement the steps required to resolve the difficulties facing him or her. I see my role in that process as being one of assisting my client to heighten their awareness of, and access to, those strengths. I help my client become aware of all the possibilities for change and then collaborate with them in the creation of alternative solutions.

As an active, empathic psychologist, I work with people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and challenges with addiction. I am psychodynamic and existential in my approach, and welcome patients from a variety of backgrounds, spiritual traditions, and sexual orientations. I am located in Palm Springs and often work with patients on a sliding fee scale. Please see my website at www.drchrisemerson.com for more details. I look forward to speaking with you.

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you might find yourself stuck or overwhelmed by life, leaving you feeling anxious and unsettled. Whether you are in the midst of changes in your life or need that extra support to make a necessary transition, therapy can help you find clarity and direction. Working together, let's uncover things about you and your life you may not have known before, experience change, and discover new possibilities.

If you feel stressed personally, relationally, or professionally - and want or need help through a phase or stage of your life - I can help you identify and treat your core issues which is critical for achieving more adequate, satisfying, and productive relational adjustments.

Are you experiencing anxiety, sadness, grief or loss through this time and are afraid to burden friends or family with your feelings? Or are you feeling unburdened right now and feel bad about not feeling bad? I understand your need for an empathic, caring professional to talk with about your feelings. With 20+ years of experience working with gay men and couples, I know the importance of speaking with someone who understands our unique struggles. As an expert in relationship and intimacy matters, I am particularly sensitive to the impact and effects our new set of stressors have on our relationships. I am here to help you.

"My approach to therapy undoubtedly varies between individuals---in part because of each individual's unique situation and needs. Nonetheless, my experiences over the course of twenty plus years in the field have led to a preference for focusing primarily on the present, on solutions to identified problems, and on an individual's strengths and resources. This approach does not exclude or ignore an individual's past or presenting problem(s). The primary focus is simply on one's current life situation and identifies actions, which could be taken---with strengths and resources already possessed---to create more satisfying results in life.

My area of strength and focus is to be present as you explore the areas where you are seeking support, such as, life transitions, grief and loss, changes in your health, career changes, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety and/or depression. I attune to the entire person: your mind, body, and spirit. We will start by first identifying goals that are important to you and your life. How we work toward your goals is based on strategies you align with and are important to you. We may create an action plan that will help to guide the steps you take between sessions.

My clients come to me when they're experiencing emotional and/or mental distress and just want the pain to stop...now. They are sleep-deprived (or the opposite), stressed over college, depressed about work, angry or indifferent to everyone, anxious, frustrated by everything! Their stomachs hurt and heads ache. The problems may stem from unmet needs (love, belonging, self-esteem), various issues (anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, chronic pain) or not meeting personal or life goals. While change can feel difficult and scary, you can learn powerful, safe ways through as you progress to becoming the person you truly want to be.

Change your mind and you change your life. You are important, powerful and valuable. You create your life. Hypnosis accesses the part of your mind that controls your emotions, behaviors and body. You are truly the master of your life. By working with the part of mind that brings your manifestations into fruition [it] makes everything in your world flow smoother, easier and simpler than you have ever imagined. Your mind is amazing; Isn't it time you utilized all aspects of it?

Life is hard. Therapy can help. I provide no-cost, mobile mental health counseling and psychotherapy to people on Medicare. We meet in the comfort of your home, and Medicare pays the bill. Whether you need help navigating a short term crisis, or you want to take a deep dive into existential questions about the meaning of life, therapy can help.

Life is not a spectator sport! Don't let your life pass you by while you are struggling to gain control of problems. I work with individuals, couples and families who want to take charge of their lives. If you want to improve relationships, strengthen communications skills, or generate harmony with your family we can work together to create success. I use a variety of therapeutic methods to address issues, and we can find the one most comfortable and effective for your individual style.

As a Therapist I work with a deep sense of compassion and curiosity in order to provide the best support while working with issues that constantly lead one to the path of un-grounding, and confusion. Talking therapy is about providing a safe sacred- therapeutic space while working on building trust and understanding. Im curious to know what will emerge during our sessions, processing thoughts, feelings and emotions frees up space for self-acceptance and self- understanding. In turn this will lead to becoming congruent with feelings, thoughts and beliefs.
