Chris Jefferson, AMFT

Chris Jefferson began his work in the mental health field with a BA in Psychology from UC Santa Cruz, followed by several years of work in community mental health programs. Chris then attended the California Institute of Integral Studies to earn a Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology and further pursue his passion for helping others. After 10 years in the mental health field Chris has seen clients overcome a wide range of challenges including: addiction, homelessness, unhealthy relationships, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Allow him to use his knowledge and experience to be your grounding point as you sort through the challenges you face today, and determine the best path forward. Using a multifaceted approach that includes CBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness, Chris will create a safe and comfortable space to process difficult experiences and form a deeper understanding of yourself. 

If you’re here it means you’ve recognized that there is something about the way you’ve been feeling and living your life that you’d like to enhance. Perhaps you already know what it is, a specific event to be processed, a pattern of behavior you’d like to change, relationships you’d like to improve, or persistent uncomfortable emotions you’d like to get unstuck. But maybe it’s not quite so clear; there’s just a sense that things are off, that life has been more difficult or uncomfortable than it has to be, that things are not flowing as smoothly and naturally as you know they could. The good news is that if you’re reading this, you’re already taking the first steps towards enacting positive change in your life, and you don’t have to do it alone.
