Chris Watkins

Starting therapy can be absolutely daunting. With so many variables, I've deferred to what many people have known for a long time: "The Relationship Matters Most". Great therapy begins with the connection. I am a 40 year old, transracial adoptee raised outside of Boston. I have four wonderful children. Life experience has taught me to be curious and supportive of individuals as they explore themselves. I enjoy working with people who want to get to know themselves on a deeper level and work towards mentalizing others. I enjoy working with folks who are brave enough to show up to therapy. It's an incredible first step. Utilizing psychodynamic therapy, I will work diligently to highlight strengths, shore up defenses, and slowly explore choices so people can have more control and engagement in their life. This doesn't always mean finding a solution, and often starts with naming difficult emotions in a way that is safe/safer. Ultimately, creating acceptance for ourselves. Individuals can come to therapy with a plan, and will often coach providers with what they need. I am focused on starting this journey together so that I can hear and explore your needs. Whether you are resourcefully practiced at naming them, or struggle to find your voice. I hope to follow your lead, and am inspired that you took the first step to show up.
