Getting to know Christopher Eggers
Toph takes a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach to helping clients better understand themselves and the patterns that shape their lives. Grounded in attachment theory, humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, and mindfulness-based practices, his work centers on developing greater self-awareness, reconnecting with core values, and creating space for a more authentic way of being. He is particularly interested in the stories we tell ourselves about who we are supposed to be, where those stories come from, and what becomes possible when we begin to question them.
Toph works with adults and teens experiencing depression, anxiety, complex family dynamics, and the pressures of high achievement. He has a particular appreciation for overthinkers, athletes, and those from high-expectation backgrounds who feel caught between who they are and who they believe they need to be. His work with artists and creatives explores the relationship between identity and creative expression, including the challenges of burnout, self-doubt, perfectionism, and finding a sustainable balance between creative ambition and personal fulfillment. Across these experiences, Toph hopes to help clients move beyond self-criticism and toward a deeper sense of acceptance, purpose, and connection with themselves and others.
Toph also specializes in working with couples seeking deeper connection, more meaningful communication, and a way out of recurring conflict. Drawing on emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and attachment theory, he helps partners look beneath the surface of their disagreements to understand the fears, unmet needs, and early experiences that shape how they relate to one another. Rather than simply finding better ways to argue, the work is about building greater emotional security, understanding, and the ability to show up for one another with more openness and care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
To suffer needlessly is not noble; it is often the result of isolation, silence, or feeling unseen. Pain may be part of being human, but it shouldn’t have to be carried alone.
Toph specializes in working with couples, artists, teens, and individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression. His approach is grounded in attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and a deep curiosity about how our earliest relationships and experiences shape the ways we connect, protect ourselves, and navigate conflict today. With couples, he works to uncover the deeper hurts and unmet needs beneath recurring patterns, helping partners move beyond the same arguments toward greater understanding, security, and connection.
Toph especially enjoys working with overthinkers, people from high-expectation backgrounds, and those who feel caught between who they believe they should be and who they feel they really are. He is drawn to the tension between achievement and authenticity, the ways we learn to hide parts of ourselves to gain acceptance, and the challenge of figuring out what we actually want beneath the expectations we’ve inherited or internalized.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Much of our pain stems from an internal conflict between who we think we should be and what we truly want. This tension can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, stuck in familiar patterns, or uncertain how to move forward. Over time, the effort of living up to expectations that no longer serve us can take a toll on our relationships, our sense of self, and our emotional well-being. We may become so accustomed to meeting the needs of others or striving toward an ideal that we lose touch with what feels authentic to us.
