Christopher Bakes
Associate Therapist
he/him
You might have heard the expression that healing is nonlinear- as your clinician, I feel really strongly that therapy is best when it’s unrushed, and it’s really important that it happens at your own pace and comfort. My take on therapy is that it’s for examining thoughts without bypassing feelings. It’s predicated on excavation of self, a lot of self-compassion, and willingness to closely turn over complex ideas as if in the palms of your hands. From me, you can expect warmth, investment, and- where appropriate- even humor to support increased perspective. This highly personalized process is, I believe, one of the best efforts any of us can make for our health.
