Christopher Bartel, Psy.D.

I strive to establish a supportive, respectful, and affirming environment in which students can identify and explore thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and recurring patterns of behavior that may be interfering with their capacity to experience a fuller and more satisfying life. I place a high emphasis on the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and I offer a collaborative, relational, and culturally sensitive approach in which both therapist and client are actively working together to promote positive change. I am trained in psychoanalytic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, and also strive to provide culturally competent therapy. Thus, I consider the impact and experience of various aspects of identity, and welcome dialogue about how our cultural identities influence our work together.
