Hi! I’m Chris Tomkins. I am passionate about helping people identify their goals, get motivated, and plan to reach those goals. Often, the plan includes learning new ways to manage emotions, make healthier decisions, and communicate effectively. My favorite part of being a therapist is when clients accomplish something they weren’t sure they would ever be able to do and discover powerful personal strengths inside themselves. Therapy with me is a collaborative partnership where we work together to get you where you want to be. I specialize in treating depression, stress, anxiety, communication issues, grief, trauma, sleep issues and addictive disorders. I have extensive experience working in the criminal justice system. I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey, with a Master of Arts degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. I am also credentialed as a clinical supervisor for new mental health and addictions counselors. I’m also a Dad and Husband here in New Jersey. I come from a big family that lives all over the Garden State. In my free time, I love sports, the Jersey Shore, and good bagels.
