Hello. I am Chris Carney and I've been in the field since 1997. I got licensed as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2007. I grew up in a military family and lived overseas (Indonesia/Taiwan) and on both the East and West coasts of the US. As a result I have lived in and have emersed myself in a variety of cultures. A fun fact: I played in the little league world series overseas. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship problems, adoptive specific problems and family dynamic concerns.
After spending time creating a well balanced, empathetic, transparent and safe relationship, I approach therapy from a person centered approach. I meet you where you are at emotionally. You are the expert and are in charge, going at your pace throughout treatment. I am a Competent Adoptions Therapist as well and specialize in issues surrounding adoption.
My clients often tell me how much better they feel in just one session; however that is typically just the beginning of their journey. Rapport building and listening to your story to best meet your needs is essential to create an effective treatment plan. I take the time it takes to build a trusting relationship and go at a pace that is comfortable to you.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. in your first session, we'll explore what brings you into therapy and decide on the most effective treatment to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll review how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. During treatment, you'll learn strategies and coping skills to help remove or solve life's obstacles.
