Hi, I’m Chris Stanley, a Licensed Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Rutgers University. I see therapy as a collaborative process:

a place to better understand what you are experiencing, identify patterns that may be getting in your way, and work toward changes that fit your goals.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed approaches, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I help clients explore the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical ways to manage difficult situations and respond differently to challenges.

I believe therapy works best when we work together. Rather than telling you what you should do, I want to understand your perspective, help you identify what matters to you, and support you in making changes that feel meaningful and realistic.
