Christopher Wilson, PhD, LMFT, CST

I am originally from Oregon but I have lived in the beautiful city of Philadelphia for a decade.  I have been working in social services and mental health for nearly twenty years.  I have a passion for helping people to increase the quality of their lives.  I work with couples and individuals.  

Therapeutic Approach

I believe therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist. As such, clients create goals, while therapists are present to assist in reaching them. I strive to create an environment which is affirming and comfortable. I often use humor and self disclosure, as a way to increase the therapeutic relationship when appropriate. Additionally, I regularly challenge clients in their assumptions regarding thoughts, behaviors, and interpersonal interactions. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities in my practice, tailoring therapy to the individual client(s) I am serving.
