Maybe a traumatic event fractures the narrative of self. Or your ego slowly unravels as you approach death.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d4dd7759a97e57f4daf829/1635738799252-D8DOK9PM2VC9J47CVEAY/unsplash-image-i_6MV1ZEwPY.jpg Blog - Wind - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d4dd7759a97e57f4daf829/1635740228717-472050B4AESHP7C8Y893/Screen+Shot+2021-10-31+at+10.16.53+PM.png Blog - Wind I have come to know this space as electric, as quick and light as wind, and wrought with a love that endures this world and the next. The Buddhist teachings call it the heart of emptiness, but I hesitate to expand further, as words only stifle this living breathing force. I can only hope that my daughter coalesced within that force and that my father returned to it when he died. It would be nice if some shred of identity slips through the threshold, but ultimately who really knows. And after a lot of living, I suppose I don’t really care that much either. I no longer use the app when putting my daughter down. I purse my lips and let go into the wind like whooshing of my exhale. “Sshhhhhhhhh.” I am with my father gliding across the water, my being so light I can hardly tolerate it. I am with my daughter as her glistening eyes look up at me to ask, “You promise it’s ok to let go?” With the whole of me at peace, I tell her “Yes.” Eventually both of us have our eyes closed. Her small body now heavy in my arms and her chest pumping sleep-breaths. And for a moment, I am grateful to belong, if only briefly, if only lightly, to this shifting, wide world. https://www.lamarpsychotherapy.com/blog/reclaiming-life-in-a-post-pandemic-world monthly 0.5 2021-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d4dd7759a97e57f4daf829/1624913083145-S14BGQSWIAR2QBWY7CV6/ava-sol-8M7ZylPbNeU-unsplash.jpg Blog - Reclaiming life in a post-pandemic world - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d4dd7759a97e57f4daf829/1624913274791-ZVEYTWVUUME2X0EJ5KX1/unsplash-image-NcF6MVPW644.jpg Blog - Reclaiming life in a post-pandemic world - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lamarpsychotherapy.com/services daily 0.75 2025-03-31 https://www.lamarpsychotherapy.com/home daily 1.0 2025-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d4dd7759a97e57f4daf829/1624564582614-X4D0LWN1D83OMP0QW3OI/unsplash-image-Yui5vfKHuzs.jpg Home - Invest in the relationship with yourself The most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves.

As a therapist, I help create a nonjudgmental relationship that allows my clients to explore themselves and their lives as honestly and gently as possible. My clients have called me insightful, humorous and results oriented. Together we'll uncover the roots of your struggles and create new patterns of being in the world. I enjoy incorporating tangible tools to help clients feel empowered and in control of their lives. Drawing from IFS and Depth Psychology, I’m interested in helping you map out your internal world while also equipping you with the skills needed to navigate life. I use evidence based modalities (i.e. IFS, CBT, MI) along with techniques of psychodynamic therapy and Buddhist psychology. Together, we explore the subconscious, understand more clearly the why behind your habitual patterns, and also look at ways to practice techniques that work for you. Above all, I am compassionate and caring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d4dd7759a97e57f4daf829/a3d00e0f-867a-4a5a-a69c-f6a364590908/Screen+Shot+2021-11-01+at+9.02.31+PM.png About - I offer therapy sessions through secure telehealth, making it easier to access support from wherever you are. This allows for consistent, meaningful work—whether you're at home, traveling, or navigating a full schedule.

Chris works closely with clients to ensure a sense of safety and control. Together, Chris and his clients identify expectations, treatment goals, and logistical needs. If clients are able to let go into a sense of trust and safety, their therapeutic experience will undoubtedly be more impactful. It is our priority to therefore create a safe, dependable environment to allow you to do the work needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d4dd7759a97e57f4daf829/1635368247875-NEYDPSZTH5NWLJ52PY4O/unsplash-image-UVv2vL3ih7o.jpg Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) - Working on different levels Ketamine quiets the default mode network, the area of the brain associated with a sense of self and certain psychological defenses. In other words, the mind relaxes and opens up to a broader, more interconnected state. Within that state, new insights arise and can be easily integrated. Ketamine increases Gaba and Glutamate, the neurotransmitters associated with feelings of safety and calm. Within this space, unhelpful patterns of thinking, traumatic imprints, somatic stress, and much more, can be quickly alleviated. https://www.lamarpsychotherapy.com/individual-therapy daily 0.75 2021-11-08 https://www.lamarpsychotherapy.com/appointments-1 daily 0.75 2021-11-01 https://www.lamarpsychotherapy.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1559159553277-L9KQOTZLAPFM1QJLYTCI/profile-center-center-01.jpg About https://www.lamarpsychotherapy.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-03-31
