Christopher T Garriga
Hello my name is Christopher T Garriga and simply go by Chris. I studied in Cambridge Massachusetts and currently have over two decades of experience working in the human services field. I work with general diagnostic issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, and substance abuse issues, and more.
First session
In my first 1-3 sessions I will primarily be focused on developing initial clinical rapport to help ensure treatment success over time. I like to be a good listener especially in the beginning so we can complete an initial assessment and tailor a treatment plan to help achieve your goals as a client.
Strengths
I like to think my knowledge base and experiential background are great advantages to helping clients set and reach goals. I also can be quite resourceful which is helpful. I also provide great psychoeducation which helps clients add to their therapeutic success between appointments as well.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is vibrant and has a drive to reach the goals they set for themselves. It is always good when a client is engaged and applies techniques learned in therapy sessions they believe will drive them closer to the lifestyle they desire to achieve.
Treatment methods
