Christian Geirsson
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Christian
I am licensed in Pennsylvania and have worked in the mental health field for over 12 years. I have experience working with clients in higher levels of care (residential, and partial hospitalization) treatment, as well as weekly outpatient therapy settings.
I believe it is our role to understand our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, to recognize the changes we want to make, and implement the changes we want to see in our lives.
I am familiar and comfortable teaching Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, including reframing thoughts, managing intense distress, and practicing mindfulness as a method of calming our anxieties.
I also give clients the space to explore their own emotions, thoughts, memories, and reflections, and allow memories, images, or symbols from their unconscious to arise and speak to them.
I have experience and feel comfortable treating anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorders, disturbing dreams, substance abuse, and personality disorders. I tailor my treatment and methods to what my clients prefer, and how the want to understand and heal from their mental health struggles.
