Getting to know Christopher Myrick

Hi there, I'm Christopher! Christopher A. Myrick, MS, LMFT #151006. Therapy is a collaborative effort to identify challenges that disrupt functioning and prevent a lifestyle that serves you effectively. My approach I am a symptom-focused therapist utilizing Solution-Focused and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, with an Adlerian Psychology core. I create a holistic perspective in treatment that fosters interpersonal growth, distress management, and rebuilding life perspective. My focus I focus on teen problems and the effects of anxiety, depression, and trauma on their functioning. I work with families to integrate effective parenting and understanding of the mental health challenges their child faces. My communication style I am an assertive and direct communicator who practices active listening and integrates a calm, intuitive experience in counseling. My journey to mental healthcare I initially attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to earn a degree in Psychology and Human Development. During that time, I became a teen father, and managing school and family became so challenging I could not continue at Cal Poly. I then earned a degree in English at the University of La Verne, driven by my passion for poetry and writing and a desire to coach football. After teaching and facing challenges in school districts, I realized teaching was not my passion. Reflecting on my education and initial interest in psychology, I entered the University of Phoenix and earned my Master’s in Psychology and Counseling, beginning my study in psychology and counseling.
