At the core of my work with clients we seek to explore your unique responses to three fundamental questions; What direction do I want/need to shift my life towards? What actions can I start taking to make this a reality? What may be getting in the way of achieving this? Individual therapy provides a space for us to slow down and make space to deepen our connection with these questions and evaluate what change is required. This is done by thoroughly unpacking and organizing the jumble of thoughts, emotions, sensations, and narratives that can distract or get in the way and then learning how to take actions that reflect our values.

Chris Pankewich Practice Description
I primarily practice two types of therapy: (a) Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), a modality that emphasizes a combination of mindfulness skills with action-oriented steps rooted in values-driven decision making and (b) Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), a relational approach to therapy focused on alleviating anxiety, depression, and healing trauma. In therapy, I like to explore how the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, and our current circumstances affects our daily experience when alone, with loved ones, or engaged in work dynamics. Exploring who we are in various environmental contexts is vital for awareness and personal growth. I believe deep down we all know what is truly best for ourselves, but our environment can facilitate patterns of distractibility, disengagement, and disconnection. I have personally gained a great deal from being a client of skilled psychotherapists, which has been a central component to my own mental health journey. Visit my website, call me, or email me to schedule a free consultation. I am here to support you on your journey. I work with individuals, couples, and youth ages 16 and older through a range of areas of focus listed to the right of my profile. "Currently Accepting New Clients"
