Getting to know Thomas (Tom) Christensen

No matter what brings you to therapy, I seek to create an environment where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward. As a psychotherapist with a Master's in Social Work from CUNY, The City University of New York, I have worked with diverse populations across New York City. I currently specialize in working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges-whether in dating, friendships, or family dynamics-as well as LGBTQ individuals. Additionally, I work with clients in active recovery from substance use. My clients are typically goal-driven while seeking direction toward creating a more fulfilling life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is collaborative, solution-oriented, authentic (with a touch of humor), and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based methods like CBT and DBT with a strength-based and insight-oriented perspective to develop personalized strategies for lasting change. I also incorporate Attachment Theory to help with relationship issues.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first few sessions will be spent building a solid therapeutic foundation and identifying your initial treatment goals. From there, we'll determine the appropriate interventions to address your short- and long-term needs.
