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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Juli BarryJune 15, 2021Chris 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!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sheldon BerkJune 5, 2021Simply put Chris is the best. If you're in need of help or simply a tune up you've found the right guy. Enough said
