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 specialize in working with high achieving adults who are outwardly successful, yet inwardly experiencing worry, frustration, insecurity or challenges related to self image, mood, work, relationships, life circumstances and transitions.  I help coaching and therapy clients to engage in their lives instead of avoiding, distracting and blaming and to capitalize on what is already going well.  We do this together by learning to tolerate difficult  emotions effectively, overcome 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 guide clients through the change process. I aim 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.  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 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.
