About Christopher (CJ) Backer

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I identify with the systems that are present in our lives and contribute to who we are and the expectations we may feel are upon us. My desire is to do work to help individuals, couples, and families to explore a deeper sense of identity beyond external roles. I utilize evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, to guides patients in moving through anxiety, depression, and trauma. My overall desire from a session is that a patient will be for them to be seen and heard, moving towards confidence and the understanding of who they are, not who they think everyone is asking them to be.
