Getting to know Christopher Mahoney
Hi there, I'm Christopher!
My name is Christopher Mahoney, and I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients can build awareness and identify strategies to improve their quality of life.
My approach
I use unconditional positive regard to facilitate a person-centered approach that incorporates Motivational Interviewing, CBT, solution-focused therapy, Attachment-focused work, and psychoeducation to help clients reach their goals and reduce symptoms.
My focus
I am open to working with any clients who have a genuine desire for change, self-awareness, and skill-building to improve their daily lives. I work with individuals and couples focused on improving their relationships. I am currently not working with minors, though this is not due to a lack of belief in the importance of adolescent and child therapy.
My communication style
I strive to create a calming and safe environment that encourages openness with all clients. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, built on nonjudgment, unconditional positive regard, and being person- and emotion-centered in processing.
My journey to mental healthcare
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 7 years of experience in the mental health field. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, and earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Dominguez Hills. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and families in outpatient and inpatient settings. My experience includes supporting clients facing depression, anxiety, substance abuse, PTSD, complex trauma, self-harm, suicidality, and attachment disruptions. In inpatient care, I have witnessed a vast range of human emotion, psychic pain, and high-acuity mental health presentations. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
