About Christopher Carlson

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts with 11 years of experience working within various environments (community based mental health services, residential mental health services, outpatient behavioral health practice) and with clientele from multiple backgrounds. My specific clinical interests and specialties include depression, anxiety, life changes, interpersonal relationship resolution, and life coaching. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
