Getting to know Christopher Lewis
I am a licensed therapist with extensive experience providing clinical therapy services for the past 31 years. I have a dedicated interest in helping clients deal with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and other issues that oftentimes impact our ability to lead more fulfilling lives. Over the course of my career I've been able to help a wide range of clients make meaningful changes and develop greater insight into what are some of the underlying dynamics and issues behind their challenges. I look forward to assisting you with achieving your goals and becoming more self-actualized on your unique life journey!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The secret to getting ahead, is getting started. -Mark Twain The first session is all about laying the groundwork. Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable. That way we can ensure the therapeutic alliance is sound and productive.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
The cornerstone of my practice approach is the keen ability to help guide clients in looking at and understanding the role that developmental life factors play in determining how we manage obstacles and stress in our lives. To achieve this goal, together we will develop a working formulation of past and current challenges and then apply evidenced based therapeutic interventions. Using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic therapy we can then figure out the best path to achieve your therapy goals in a flexible time frame.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
