Chris Doorley, AMFT (DoorleyTherapy on the web) specializes in Sleep issues, Burnout, Anxiety, Stress and ADHD. Therapy with Chris is about identifying and supporting your individual needs. His approach draws from Buddhist Psychology, awareness practices (like Gestalt), and Jungian myth-archetypes to provide support for your entire Self. In Chris's 9 years of clinical, graduate-level and pre-clinical work, he's seen that though we all share common suffering, it hits each of us uniquely. If you feel your life has begun to show you more "obstacle" than "flow", send an email or give a call— next-day intakes are available.
Areas of focus include anxiety attacks, sleep disturbance/ insomnia, career stress, signs of depression, ADHD symptoms and stuck habits. Ask yourself, What your in life has the most meaning? How do you access your core potential? Along with supportive therapy, your answers to these questions can guide recovery and open up new choices.
Here’s some of what you could try in therapy with Chris Doorley: creative thought experiments, evolutionary psychology, “writer’s mind”, myth- and dream-work, and awareness-expanding practices (extensions of meditation). If you’re curious about any of these and you seek more FLOW, email/ call Chris today.

I'm an awareness-trained therapist, concentrating on your needs with attention and compassion. We'll explore stressors and resources in conversation together. In essence, growth and healing are processes catalyzed by dialoge, asking well-timed questions, and getting curious about relationships. To be present— sincerely present in this moment— carries a great power with it. It can be practiced.
