Christen  Pendleton, PsyD

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Anchor 1
Services

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist I provide teletherapy and coaching in a manner that is warm, genuine, empathic and tailored to meet each client's specific needs. I am able to work with coaching clients in any location and am licensed to provide therapy to clients who reside in New York and Virginia. 

 

I often see clients in their 20's, 30's and 40's who are outwardly successful, yet inwardly experience worry, sadness, numbness, shame, loneliness and difficulty related to self image, work, relationships, life circumstances and transitions.  I help coaching and therapy clients to engage in their lives instead of avoiding, distracting and numbing and to capitalize on what is already going well.  We do this together by learning to move towards emotions and challenges,  expand states of joy and create new and more adaptive patterns, habits and mindsets.  

 

Many people come into therapy feeling stuck, frustrated and ashamed, wanting change but unsure of next steps. I use a holistic, strengths based approach to walk with clients through the change process. I work to co-create a collaborative relationship in which clients feel supported, challenged and understood.

In addition to therapy, I provide coaching and business consultation. It can be lonely at the top and having a trusted and qualified coach external to your organization can have a profound impact on performance and wellbeing. Having earned a doctorate in psychology with a minor concentrations in Organizational Change and Leadership, completed an ICF accredited coaching certification program, and mentored in executive coaching with the Performance Management Group at Virginia Commonwealth University, I am uniquely qualified to help leaders develop.  I do this by identifying goals, identifying blindspots, problem solving roadblocks, enhancing confidence, emotional intelligence interpersonal skills and communication strategies and increasing efficiency and productivity. My background in psychology and expertise in people and change is an incredible asset in this regard.  

 

I work with high achievers who are interested in living in alignment with their values.  My coaching clients include business owners/founders, high level executives, administrators, physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs, academics and folks in the process of developing businesses or transitioning careers. I have experience coaching clients in the fields of finance, law, medicine, sales, advertising, business development, academia, PR, branding, engineering, IT, hospitality, design, wellness and government.
