Chase Christensen
My name is Chase Christensen and I am a licensed therapist working in California. I have been working as a therapist for 17 years, serving all walks of life, every age, ethnic background and circumstance. I have worked in residential, seen clients in home, and outpatient services. I have served homeless and well off clients alike.
Working with clients who have trauma, depression, ADHD, and Bipolar are areas I am very comfortable with and would consider a strength of mine.
Currently I am privileged enough to work in the school system seeing school aged clients for individual, group, and family therapies. I employ an eclectic style of therapy, leaning on interpersonal and DBT orientations. I consider it an honor to be a therapist.
First session
See if we are a good fit, for the parents and I and for the client and I, or if you are an adult, if we are a good match. I will also conduct an assessment and try and formulate a diagnosis and initial treatment goal.
Strengths
Working in the school system currently, I feel comfortable with adolescent and youth clients. But I also love working with adults, as I was recently up until 2021 was a professor at Azusa Pacific University where I worked with people older and younger than myself. Working with clients who have trauma, depression, ADHD, and Bipolar are areas I am very comfortable with and would consider a strength of mine.
Ideal clients
Adolescent, Adult. I am comfortable with any age really from 6-80!
Treatment methods
Interpersonal
The therapeutic relationship is the focus of the treatment and models the maladptive and corrective symptoms that occur outside the therapy room to have an environment (the therapy room/session) to improve upon them
