Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Louisville, KY
Together, we'll focus on understanding your unique experiences, developing practical skills to handle life's ups and downs, and fostering a deeper sense of self- acceptance and resilience.
Welcome! I'm Chris, a DBT therapist specializing in anxiety, addiction, depression, and self-esteem among other mental health issues. My approach is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a therapeutic framework that blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals manage their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a more fulfilling life. I understand that dealing with anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming and isolating, and struggling with self-esteem can undermine your confidence and sense of self-worth.

I practice from an attachment theory perspective incorporating EMDR, CBT, ACT and Psychodynamic interventions.
Do you feel overwhelmed by recent changes or the everyday stresses of life, parenting or your career? Have you noticed that you find it hard to be present with your loved ones or at work? Have you experienced trauma that may have had an impact on your ability to function regardless of how hard you feel like you are working towards healing. It is my job to walk along side you and facilitate true healing, utilizing your inherent strengths, and building on those to create lasting change in your life.

In my experience with working with individuals from all walks of life, a nearly universal thread that I see underlying most mental health and substance abuse struggles are histories of trauma. This life is hard and this world is cruel. Therefore, most of my practice comes from an understanding of the intergenerational effects and ongoing disruption that a single traumatic event can pose on an individual’s wellbeing. Utilizing CBT, DBT, and ACT, my goal is to help clients heal in a holistic manner.

Although I have worked with children, adolescents, and couples in the past; my ideal clients are individual adults seeking to reduce or eliminate symptoms generally associated with trauma including but not limited to anxiety and depression. These symptoms are also often present in disorders such as PTSD, ADHD, Bi-Polar, OCD, Addictions, and Grief. My goal is to help individuals navigate these issues to achieve a better life experience. I believe every client deserves to be heard, experience unconditional positive regard, a sense of acceptance, belonging, and value, and experience a reasonable amount of joy.

I use various techniques from evidence based practices in session with main goal to better understand you, your emotions, building better patterns/habits, and/or coming to place of acceptance to be with hard emotions and work through hard moments in life.
Feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Many of the individuals I work with are struggling with unwanted thoughts, excessive worrying, often feeling depressed and/or struggling with not having a sense of control (or fear of uncertainty). They are often putting themselves down, experiencing poor self-esteem, not feeling like they are enough and/or placing high expectations on themselves or even others. They also may be struggling with adapting to multiple changes and/ or stressors going on in their life, balancing the work/school/life stress, or simply need help with improving expressing their feelings.

Healing is a messy process-- it takes courage and grit, it requires internal resources and consistent support, it forces us to go backward before we can even think of moving forward in ways that would make us feel proud. Despite the difficulty, you know that what you need is not a band-aid. You need something more thorough. Something that will help you to not only deal with the pain of the things that have already happened, the things that have been done to you and the shame around choices you may have made, but you need to know that in the future you won't have to continue feeling this way as new choices and challenges emerge.
