EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Posted on Charles IrvinAugust 22, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris T is the best therapist ever! He runs the practice with his wife, Andrea, who is also amazing. I would recommend working with anyone on their team.Posted on John Sloan, LMFTJune 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the good fortune of training with Chris early in my career. He is compassionate, thoughtful, and brings deep knowledge and experience to the work. I am so grateful for the time I spent at California Integrative Therapy. He hires exceptional therapists and I do not hesitate to refer clients to this practice. The therapists there bring a breadth of experience and a variety of approaches to the work--whether you're looking for couples therapy, treatment for depression or anxiety, or healing from trauma, I highly recommend you give them a call.Posted on Danielle WeeksJanuary 21, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Lots of therapists have the tools to provide good therapy, but some have a natural gift, and Chris definitely does. You couldn’t find anyone better at guiding you through tough conversations while providing necessary insight. He’s just excellent at what he does.Posted on MaryhelenFebruary 13, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris is an amazing therapist. He listens in a way that allows you to feel seen. I feel that Chris has the knowledge, insight, and compassion to get anyone on the other side of what they may be going through. He is truly living his life’s purpose. He is a gift.Posted on Adrienne GlasserFebruary 7, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris is a wonderful somatic therapist. He is kind, compassionate and assertive when it is in the best interest of a client. He is able to co-create changes quickly with those that he sees. As a fellow therapist I highly recommend him.Posted on Juli BarryJune 15, 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris is an amazing therapist. His broad knowledge of the human brain proved invaluable in helping me through my ASD son’s teenage years. He taught me how change my own thinking and redirect my impulse reactions. I have a wonderful relationship with my adult son because of Chris’s support. I returned to working with Chris during a horrific divorce and once again he pulled me through the morass. I am now a happier, healthier person, confident of my own power and self-worth. Dr. Chris Ticknor provided the tools I needed to get here. I highly recommend him!
